We’re excited to announce an ambitious new project at Archbishop Shaw High School that will help transform our campus and elevate our student experience: the renovation of our annex building into a new, state-of-the-art Student Commons.
With your generous, tax-deductible gift, we can bring this vision to life and create a multi-use space that will serve as a cornerstone of student life, advancing our campus into the 21st century and meeting the needs of today’s students.
At Archbishop Shaw, we know that a thriving campus is built around places where students can connect, collaborate, and find a sense of belonging. This new space will be much more than just a physical structure – it will be an active hub of student life, where friendships are formed, ideas are shared, and leaders are developed. This renovation will turn the annex building into a welcoming space designed specifically to encourage meaningful interaction, creativity, and collaboration.
Imagine a place where students can work on group projects, organize club meetings, do homework, or simply unwind with friends after classes. This Student Commons will become that place – a dedicated space for students to relax, gather, and grow.
One of the most exciting aspects of this project is the versatility of the renewed space. The design will allow for flexible use, meeting a wide range of student and campus needs. With adaptable seating, collaborative work areas, and integrated technology, this modern commons will accommodate everything from school assemblies and study sessions to workshops and club activities. Whether it’s a team planning session, a robotics club meeting, or a campus-wide celebration, this new space will bring our community together in ways that simply haven’t been possible before.
Today’s students need access to advanced tools and technology to prepare for the future. This renovation will transform the annex into a fully equipped, technology-enhanced space that supports a variety of academic and extracurricular activities. The space will feature interactive displays, charging stations, and Wi-Fi connectivity, providing students with all the resources they need to collaborate and innovate. These resources will empower students to learn, explore, and succeed, reinforcing the role of technology as a critical part of their education and their future.
In addition to supporting day-to-day school activities, the space will be equipped for virtual events, live-streamed presentations, and digital learning experiences. It’s all part of Archbishop Shaw’s commitment to delivering a forward-thinking education, ensuring that our students are not only academically prepared but also skilled in using the latest technologies that will give them the tools to succeed.
The Student Commons will also serve as a space to showcase our rich school history and traditions. By creating this common area where our students can celebrate their achievements, display their creativity, and build their leadership skills, we’re building a legacy of school spirit and pride. This project is about more than just a building; it’s about investing in the long-term growth of our community and creating a space that will inspire future generations of Shaw students to strive for excellence.
Realizing this vision requires substantial resources, and we are calling on the Archbishop Shaw community – alumni, Salesians, families, and friends – to help us bring it to life. Your contributions will directly support the renovation efforts, from structural upgrades and furnishings to the technological resources that will define the space.
We invite you to be part of this transformative project by making a gift. Every contribution, no matter the size, will make a meaningful impact and bring us closer to our goal of providing students with a space where they can grow, learn, and thrive. Together, we can create a modern, up-to-date space that will serve as a lasting legacy of Shaw’s commitment to fostering a strong, supportive, and innovative learning environment.
Join us in building a Student Commons that will make a difference for our students today and for generations to come. Let’s make this vision a reality, creating a space that reflects the vibrant community of Archbishop Shaw High School and inspires our students to dream, discover, and achieve.
