During my time at Shoemaker, I've been grateful to have more good teachers than bad. Most have my teachers are excellent at the subject and treat all their students the same. Along with that, our sports and other extracurricular programs are great and our counselors are amazing when it comes to informing students about college preparation.

Shoemaker High School brought me many opportunities during my time as a student. I was able to get my associate's degree and my CPT while in high school without payment. The clubs are the heart of the school and if you go looking for a place to belong you will find it. The staff is always willing to help and you will meet people who want you to be successful. While like any high school, there are things to be picky about there is nowhere else I'd rather be an alum of. GO GRAYWOLVES!!!
