Talent Show
Way to go to all those Sundogs who had the courage to get up on stage and perform in front of their peers this week! I'm extremely proud of each and every student.
A special thank you goes out to our special Gangastas on Paradise Lane, Mrs. West, Mrs. Hanson, Mrs. Fritts, and Mrs. Hamman for organizing the talent show again this year.

Graduating Sundogs
Best of luck to our former Sundogs who are graduating from high school this week! We wish you the best as you close this chapter of your lives and begin the next.
Once a Sundog, always a Sundog! Now go out there and change the world.
Sundogs Moving On
We are both excited and saddened to have some Sundog staff moving on next year.
- Ms. Bodle has taken a math job at Wasilla Middle School. She is going to rock that place! Watch out tweens and teens, JB is coming your way.
- Mr. G has taken a middle school CTE position at Redington Jr/Sr High next year. He's excited about delving into the CTE world, which he is very passionate about.
- Mrs. McLain recently finished her counseling degree and was scooped up by Palmer High School where she will continue to make a difference in kids' lives.
To each of you, congratulations on your new positions! You will be missed at Shaw. We wish you nothing but the best in your new roles.
Retiring Sundog
Mr. McLain is hanging it up this year after a long and prosperous career as an educator. He has inspired thousands of students over the course of his long educational career. We wish Mr. McLain the best as he jumps headfirst into retirement. He assures me that he won't get bored because Mrs. McLain has plenty of "honey do" items on the list to keep him busy.
As you can see from the pictures below, Mr. McLain is loved by his students and will be missed!
