Useful Programs to Help Our Students Be Successful

Math Tutoring

A program open to all level 6, 7, & 8 students interested in enhancing their mathematical knowledge in a small group setting.

Student Council

The SHMS student council is a group of selected students working together with an adult advisor to provide a means for student expression and assistance in school affairs and activities, give opportunities for student experience in leadership and encourage student and staff collaboration, as well with our community.

WEB: Where Everyone Belongs

The WEB program trains 40 of Shaw Heights top level 7 & level 8 students to become leaders, motivators, role models, tutors, peer mentors, encouragers, and teachers to our incoming 6th-grade students. These WEB leaders are linked with 10-12 level 6 students, to work with them starting on orientation day to provide social and academic support throughout the school year.

The objectives of the WEB program are simple, yet powerful.

To empower level 8 students that are role models for level 6 students.
To increase academic success through the support of peers.
To develop leadership skills in the students of our campus.
To allow successful older students to pass on positive traditions to younger students.
To expose students to a variety of individuals at our school in positive situations.
To teach students that by working together they can be successful and enjoy one another.
To help create a supportive and positive atmosphere on our campus.

Not only do our WEB leaders work closely with our level 6 students to create a positive, comforting environment, they also plan and sponsor several events for the community throughout the year, including a fall festival, activities, and entertainment for our schools, such as a talent show and dances.
