Welcome from Dr. Arnold

The educational community at Shaw is dedicated to  the success of our students through continual efforts in the refinement and revision of our policies, procedures, curriculum, and processes.  Our faculty works diligently to provide quality educational opportunities by having consistently high expectations for students and for themselves.

The Shaw commitment to a comprehensive school program is evident in the large number and wide variety of classes, events, extra-curricular and co-curricular programs for student involvement.  WSHS, the Global Media Resources magnet program, AP and Honors classes, outstanding fine arts programs, state championship athletic teams, and the highest GHSGT scores of any comprehensive high school in MCSD combine to offer students more opportunities for success and achievement in the classroom and beyond than any other school.

Community involvement at Shaw has for many years been a particular strength of our school.  Business partnerships with TSYS, MediaCom, and the 36th Engineer Group from Ft. Benning, parent Booster clubs in Band, Orchestra, Chorus, Football, Soccer, Baseball, Cheerleading and many other activities, our outstanding Local School Council, a very active PTSA and a newly created Alumni Association combine to support school events, activities, steering committees, advertising efforts, mentoring programs, provide financial support, and contribute in many ways and services to our students and school.

Our expectations for every student are high, and our individual and collective achievements continue to set the standard for comprehensive school programs.  Every student is encouraged to participate according to his/her respective gifts, talents, and interests, and to achieve beyond his/her expectations.

We hope you enjoy your virtual visit to our school.

Sincerely,

Dr. Jim Arnold
