History
Jim Cunavelis, a Shrewsbury resident and a graduate of a private high school, proposed the idea
of the SHS Alumni Association for SHS's size and the needs of its graduates. After several years of discussing his idea
with former Superintendent of Schools, Dr. John Collins, the idea came to life on October 13, 1993.
The SHS Alumni Association thanks the present Superintendent of Schools, Dr. Anthony Bent, former
SHS Principal, Dr. Daniel Gutekanst and SHS Principal, Brian Reagan, for their continued support.
Our Logo
Look closely..... Our logo is actually a two sided figure. This
ingenious idea was developed by Deb Falzoi (SHS 1994).
Notice the Colonial on the left side... he represents the "SHS Colonial" community. Note the mortarboard
on the right side of the figure and the gown....
Our logo reflects our goal to "bring together all alumni and friends of SHS graduates to promote the best interests of
the schools and community..."
The Colonial
The "Colonial" is our official school emblem. It is symbolic of Shrewsbury's heritage through the famous life of
a colonial named Artemas Ward, and was designed for us by the late well-known Worcester sports cartoonist, Al Banks.
In the late 1950s, when the Shrewsbury High School (at Oak Street) was opened, the "Colonial" was incorporated in the
new school seal. This seal was put to use immediately by being placed on class rings.
