History

The former Shaw High School building was first built in 1923. As of 2017 it had 158 students. Leland School District offers vocational training to Shaw High School students. [4]

McEvans Negro High School formerly existed. [5] In 1958 the school had almost 1,000 students. The building was destroyed in a fire in 1958, causing about $115,000 in damages. [6]

Both Shaw High and McEvans Elementary were in the Shaw School District until July 1, 2014, when that district was consolidated into West Bolivar Consolidated. [7]

At one point the condition of the Shaw High building, at 214 Dean Boulevard, [8] deteriorated to the point where the high school moved in with McEvans Elementary School. In 2020 the facility was renamed the McEvans School and became K-12. Shaw High had green and gold as its colors with a hawk mascot while McEvans Elementary had gold, maroon, and white as colors with a hawk mascot. The school board normally would have asked for more student participation but the COVID-19 pandemic in Mississippi dampened this. The board chose gold, maroon, and white as colors and a warrior mascot. [9]
