Plans

As the association proceeds, S.H.A.P.E.S. is looking forward to providing equipment, books, technology, assistance, and any other help the district needs that are not already available through grants or capital bond issues.

The primary focus is to assist the district in academic educational issues. This could be the result of having new projection equipment, technology items that include computers and computer labs, software, printers, smart boards, calculators, supplemental textbooks, maps, posters, special teacher training, or any other items that teachers may need for a better disciplinary effort.

History

S.H.A.P.E.S. started in the Spring of 2000. S.H.A.P.E.S. was formed when the Slater High School Alumni and the Slater High School Teachers came together and decided that the school system needed greater financial support than is possible through the tax base. This alumni association was considered to be a way to involve people who are most interested in maintaining the school, who are not considered just parents and residents of the district.
