Shiloh High School is a public high school located in Snellville, Georgia in southern Gwinnett County. The school is part of the Gwinnett County Public Schools system and opened in 1984. Shiloh High School serves students in the Shiloh Cluster which feeds from the Anderson Livsey, Annistown, Centerville, Partee, and Shiloh Elementary Schools and Shiloh Middle School.
The school mascot is the Generals and the school colors are Black, Silver, and White.
Shiloh, like Peachtree Ridge, was on block scheduling but is now to the regular six-periods day. The class of 2008-2009 was the first to not experience a block schedule.
The school mascot and colors were selected through a student contest before it officially opened in 1984. Eve Embry (Class of 1986) designed the emblem, which appears on the old gym floor.
