Mr. Aha

“Mr. Aha was our daughter’s history teacher for her sophomore year. Although the remainder of that school year was completed online, Mr. Aha made sure his focus was on meeting the needs of his students. Mr. Aha made his lessons relatable while keeping the students engaged with relevant work and projects. He always answered any communication from students and kept parents informed with weekly updates as to the changing schedule.

I appreciated that Mr. Aha expected his students to be responsible and take an active role in their education.

Thank you Mr. Aha for your refreshing, positive outlook and being a great role model for the students of SHS!”

Mr. Provost

“I’m glad to have teachers and counselors who are truly invested in their jobs and making learning accessible even through this bleak year. I unfortunately did not have the opportunity to acquaint myself with staff from all departments, but I imagine that everyone is doing their best to make this unorthodox school year survivable! “

Ms. Woll

“I think Mrs. Woll is so under appreciated for the work she does with me in my ACC US2 class because with the given things going around with COVID she makes sure we are taken care of first and then the unit she is teaching. She doesn't give us a lot of work which is nice considering some of my other teachers and their assignments but she also gives us a free period or time at the end to finish work from other classes which says a lot when she is teaching lots of history. I appreciate her so much because it shows that teachers at shawnee care and understand students. Plus I love her class, she makes it so interactive and there is a new thing to learn everyday.”
