About Ms. Shaw

Ms. Shaw teaches English IV and AP Literature & Composition at Cedar Ridge High School. She has a BA in Literature and is certified in English Language Arts & Reading and Supplemental ESL. This will be her twelfth year at CRHS.

Ms. Shaw teaches exuberantly, reads voraciously, conjugates correctly, edits viciously, and writes carefully. She is also a supporter of the Oxford comma and drinks her coffee black.

She believes in the unique potential of all individuals, and in the power of words to express that potential.

Through reading, students improve their vocabularies, their critical thinking, and their capacity for empathy. Through writing and revising, students both find their voices and understand how striving for one's best causes one to grow.

Through reading and writing, people become engaged, empathetic citizens of the world, able to overcome challenges.

Former students have been known to call her "Shawesome."
