Thanks to a new law, the working papers process will be online and streamlined. Rather than going through local schools, younger workers will simply visit this site and be walked through a few easy steps.

"I have learned how to manage my time, prioritize, study for major tests, speak publicly, and work on teams. Most importantly, Shawnee has improved my work ethic, offered many opportunities to expand my understanding of topics important to me, and allowed me to create relationships with staff and students that will last even after high school." - James, Shawnee Class of 2025

“My involvement, inclusiveness, and perseverance within my high school experience has prepared me to be successful in the future. Pushing myself academically, in addition to participating in various clubs and sports teams, has helped me forge countless long-lasting connections and experiences. Within all of the ups and downs that high school has brought me, I’ve continually persevered, finding myself and embracing my many newfound values and passions that I will apply throughout my life." - Sakiyah, Shawnee Class of 2025
Andrew's Quote
"My high school experience has provided me many opportunities to explore my interests and learn my strengths. The vast selection of STEM classes that are offered has allowed me to explore the science field, helping me discover the passion I have for it. Additionally, the course offerings in the arts, especially in the form of vocal music, has allowed me to pursue my passion for singing, allowing me to learn how to balance both academically rigorous classes as well as the arts and other extracurricular activities." - Andrew, Shawnee Class of 2025
Amelia's Quote
"My high school experience has allowed me to ultimately grow as a person in so many ways! I have learned to be vulnerable and ask for help, how to communicate with teachers & mentors, how to work well in team-based settings, how to apply my academic knowledge to the real world, how to address a public crowd & showcase leadership, and most importantly, how to properly utilize opportunity. High school has taught me to take advantage of opportunity, which is what I plan to continue to do in my future chapters of life!" - Amelia, Shawnee Class of 2025
