As a past student to the Shawtown Community, I am happy to see that the alumni are giving back to help provide resources so that the young people that live in that area can be involved in social and skill-building activities.

We strive to create a space that allows at-risk families to receive tutoring assistance, skill building training, career orientation, entrepreneurial access, on-site health and dental screening, peer group support, debate skills, anger redirection, healthy nutrition choices, law enforcement partnerships, mentorship, non-traditional career choices, and specific needs referrals assistance. By doing so we hope to foster a strong sense of solidarity among the Shawtown community and to create a better future for generations to come.

Shawtown High School contributed a lot; it was a No. 1 school. The school has been a shining star for the black community in this area.
