History

The school building, announced in 1968 with an estimated cost of $3.5 million, was designed to accommodate a student body of 1,500 and include 26 classrooms, a gym, cafeteria and a 600-seat auditorium.[8] Shawnee High School opened in 1970 as the second of the district's four high schools.[9]

Since the opening of Seneca High School in September 2003, the enrollment level at Shawnee has dropped, helping to alleviate the crowding the school once faced.[10]

Awards, recognition and rankings

The school was the 48th-ranked public high school in New Jersey out of 339 schools statewide in New Jersey Monthly magazine's September 2014 cover story on the state's "Top Public High Schools", using a new ranking methodology.[11] The school had been ranked 142nd in the state of 328 schools in 2012, after being ranked 100th in 2010 out of 322 schools listed.[12] The magazine ranked the school 108th in 2008 out of 316 schools.[13] The school was ranked 110th in the magazine's September 2006 issue, which surveyed 316 schools across the state.[14] Schooldigger.com ranked the school tied for 58th out of 381 public high schools statewide in its 2011 rankings (a decrease of 5 positions from the 2010 ranking) which were based on the combined percentage of students classified as proficient or above proficient on the mathematics (90.7%) and language arts literacy (97.4%) components of the High School Proficiency Assessment (HSPA).[15]

Area growth has brought Shawnee back to Group IV while Seneca remains in Group III. Coached by Tim Gushue, the Renegades are perennial powerhouses in South Jersey.

They played one more year in the Olympic American conference, then moved down to the Olympic Patriot conference. As of 2006, Shawnee won its conference three years in a row.
