Shaker High School has many outstanding alumni whose lives bring credit to the North Colonie Central School District. Thus, we proudly announce the establishment of the Shaker High School Alumni Hall of Fame.

Each year, graduates who meet the criteria outlined below will be considered for induction into the Hall of Fame. These graduates are role models who can inspire our students to continue the tradition of excellence which defines the North Colonie community. This year's honorees will be announced at the high school’s 2010 graduation ceremony, and their pictures and names will be placed on permanent display at the high school.
