School Reviews
| 3 I attended Shawnee for 3 years. 8th, 9th, & 10th grades. (late 50s) I really liked Shawnee the three years I was there. I met some friends there I will never forget. I played football, basketball, & baseball. This was a special school. Thanks for the memories. Sincerely Dave Hawkins. - Posted by Student/Alumni - Dave Hawkins |
