Shorewood Ranked SECOND in the WIAA Scholastic Cup Competition for 3A schools this year! This is our highest finish ever, after fourth place last year. Shorewood was the recipient of SEVEN first place academic championships, including girls swimming, cheer, choir, gymnastics, flags and drill, drama, and girls track.
“The WIAA recognizes performance in the classroom as well as in athletics. Schools that finish at the top of their respective classifications in state athletic competition receive points, as do schools that finish at the top in team academic performance. Sportsmanship is also a factor, with substantial points deducted for ejections from contests. At the end of the year, the school with the most points in their classification will be awarded the prestigious Scholastic Cup.”
Congratulations to our students, families and staff!

One student from each high school attends two board meetings each month (Monday nights), alternating semesters sitting on the board or in the audience.

- Potentially be available for an interview during STAR, lunch or after school, June 2013. Applicants will be notified with further information after applications are turned in.
- Complete and turn in an application packet by the deadline of Friday, May 31, 2013, 3:30 PM to Elaine Swanson, Assistant Principal.

Shorewood is being honored for the state’s highest honor in the category of “Overall Excellence”. This award places our school performance within the top 5% of high schools in the state over the last two years in twenty different outcomes. You may also be aware that we were honored by the state in 2011 for outstanding achievement in the area of “Extended Graduation Rate”.
This is an extraordinary accomplishment and is a direct reflection of the hard work of our students, the dedication of our teachers, and the support, guidance and leadership of our parents. Shorewood’s award is well deserved. In the past several years, Shorewood has implemented several academic improvements and interventions that have impacted our students’ success. In addition, our athletics, activities and performance programs provide an enriching and motivating student climate that contributes directly to this achievement.
The Washington Achievement Awards are sponsored by the Washington State Board of Education and the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction. They celebrate the state’s top-performing schools and recognize achievement in many categories. This highly-selective award is based on our school’s performance on the Achievement Index and uses criteria set by the federal Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) flexibility waiver.
The Washington Achievement Award is given to elementary, middle, high, and comprehensive schools in seven categories: overall excellence, language arts, math, science, extended graduation rate (high and comprehensive schools only), closing achievement gaps and high progress (Title I eligible or participating schools only).
I hope you will visit the OSPI Washington Achievement Awards site to learn more about the awards, the criteria for selection, and the Accountability Index. The Accountability Index look up tool, available at sbe.wa.gov, provides a searchable database where you can find out how schools in our district and across the state are doing.
The selection process for the Washington Achievement Award is very rigorous, and all of us can take great pride in this accomplishment. On behalf of the staff and students I wish to say thank you and congratulations!
Shorewood has been honored as a Washington Achievement Award winner for Extended Graduation rate for 2011 and Overall Excellence in 2012!
The High School Challenge
Shorewood High School is ranked among the top high schools nationally by the Washington Post "High School Challenge". See more information at the link for 2013.
