Student Services and
Policies
Our mission is to support the curriculum and the instruction
of Shaw High School. To that end, we select, purchase, and process books
and materials that students, teachers, and staff members may utilize. We
also purchase and provide materials that encourage reading for pleasure.
Our extensive array of satellite and cable television opportunities allow us to
videotape programming that teachers may use in the classroom. We encourage
the use of technology for teaching and learning. If you need our help,
please ask. Welcome to the Shaw High School Media Center!
