Welcome to the 2026-2027 school year! We are excited to have you as part of our school community. Below you will find our student handbook, which contains important information about school policies, procedures, expectations, and resources. We encourage you to review it carefully and refer to it throughout the year.

The name, Shawnee Heights, came from suggestions offered by the eighth-grade students of the Tecumseh, Berryton, and Richland grade schools. The Board of Education selected these three names, which were voted upon by the eighth-grade students of the three schools: Kawaka, submitted by Carolyn Ramey and Letty Tobias; Washburn Rural, submitted by Gracie Mae Nelson, and Shawnee Heights, submitted by Jeannette Colhouer and Rob Nowlan. The emblem, the THUNDERBIRD, is derived from the mythical Native American bird symbolizing thunder and lightning.

Our school colors are red, white, and turquoise.

Cheer the fighting Thunderbirds

For we are proud to be the Thunderbirds!

As we march against the foe,

We will shout our battle cry, Rah! Rah! Rah!

To the end we'll ever fight,

For we are loyal to the Red and White

Fight! Fight! Fight! and win the victory

For Shawnee Heights!

(Music and lyrics composed by Mr. James Pauls)

To thee, Alma Mater, we pledge our loyalty; Thy name to be honored, and ne'er forgotten be. Glory and fame shall grace the name Of Shawnee Heights always; All hail to the Red and White Ever great and true. (From Brahms' Fourth Symphony, lyrics by Mr. James Pauls)
