Attention fellow Shawnee High School 1974 classmates: You were part of the first class to go all four years at the (then) brand new high school and graduate in June 1974.

There will be a tailgating event at Shawnee on Friday, Sept. 27 as the Renegades take on arch-rival Lenape at 6 p.m. And yes, the Shawnee-Lenape game is no longer on Thanksgiving Day, but is still a conference battle of neighborhood schools.
