Shaker High School is a public high school in Latham, Albany County, New York. As of 2005, it has an enrollment of some 1,970 students. In 1985, it was recognized as an Exemplary School by the United States Department of Education, one of the first to receive this distinction. In 2006, it was noted as one of the top 10 high schools in New York, and one of the top 75 in the United States. Shaker's top sports teams (mascot: Blue Bison) include boys' track, basketball, girls' field hockey, lacrosse, boys' and girls' swimming, diving, tennis, softball, and football. In addition, both boys' and girls' crew (rowing) is offered as a club sport. [1]
Shaker's principal, as of 2006, is Richard R. Murphy. Dr. James O. Jackson was the former principal of Shaker. Dr. Jackson paved the way for what is now a well functioning Shaker High School. Dr. Jackson is an alumnus of Northwestern University's School of Education and Social Policy. It is part of the North Colonie Central Schools school district, and is fed in part by Shaker Junior High School. In recent news, Maplewood has been annexed into the North Colonie Central School District. [1]
