Shaw High School (Georgia)
Shaw High School (Georgia)

William Henry Shaw High School is located in Columbus, Georgia, United States. It opened in 1978 at its present location in the Northern Columbus area. Students began attending classes in September of the same year.The school is named in honor of former Muscogee County School District Superintendent William Henry Shaw. Its original proposed name was Schomburg North High School. Although Shaw is one of the newer high schools in Columbus, it has achieved academic and athletic success in its short history. Academically, Shaw High School was named a "School of Excellence" by the Georgia Department of Education in 1984 and 2005. In 2005, Shaw High School was also a recipient of the State of Georgia Platinum Award: Greatest Gain in Students Meeting and Exceeding Standards. In 2006, the Georgia DOE named Shaw a "Distinguished School" for academic achievement, one of two Muscogee County School District Schools to achieve this honor. In 2009, Georgia State Superintendent of Schools Kathy Cox named Shaw High School as an AP Access and Support School: schools with 30% of AP test takers who are African-American or Hispanic and at least 30% of all AP exam takers scoring 3 or higher. Shaw High School was one of only two Muscogee County School District Schools to receive AP Honors in 2009. Shaw High School has bolstered five state titles in athletics: girls' track in 1977, 1999, and 2000; football in 2000; and baseball in 2001. Shaw High School's Raider Football program was the second Columbus football team to win a state championship, the first football team in Columbus to win it outright, and the first football team in Columbus to do so undefeated (15-0).
