Now Beal Early Childhood Education Center

Welcome Home!
The SHS Alumni Association is led by a small but enthusiastic group of volunteers.  Some of us graduated from Beal, others from the SHS at Oak Street.  We hope that in the not-too-distant future we'll be joined by alumni of the new high school on Holden Street.  Despite differences in ages, we all share a special fondness for SHS and a willingness to help the school and other alumni.

We're pleased to be able to offer grants to student groups and scholarships to graduating seniors.  Keeping in touch with the school helps us determine how we can best serve the students.

How can we be of service to you?  Are you planning a reunion?  We can help you locate classmates, choose a site, plan a program...Just ask!  Would you like to get together with fellow alumni?  We meet monthly September thru June, and also sponsor special alumni events.  Contact any member of the Council for details.  We hope you'll join us sometime soon!

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.
