School Information

The building principal is Dr. Russell Moore. The Houston and Norris Hall principal is Dawn Savery, and the Clay and Calhoun Hall principal is Michael Mitchell. About 900 students are enrolled in Shaker Junior High School. A variety of sports programs are offered.

These competitions include the Faculty Feud, which is a teacher-played game based on the TV game show Family Feud, with the answers being based on student feedback, and the Quiz Bowl, which is an academic competition in which the faculty chooses each hall's top four students for each grade. A big track meet is held in May or June on Shaker's High School's football and track stadium.
