Hawk News

Hello Shawano Families,

Greetings from Principal Raduechel!

My name is Dr. Matthew Raduechel and I am very fortunate to begin the 2023-2024 school year as your high school principal. I have been an educator for 18 years, starting my career in Wittenberg-Brinamwood as a Physical Education and Health instructor. More recently, I have spent the last 7 years at John Muir Middle School in Wausau as the Associate Principal of Scheduling and Programming in addition to serving as the Wausau School District’s K-12 Art Coordinator. In addition, throughout my career I served as a coach and advisor in activities such as Student Council, Football, Wrestling, Track, as well as the strength and conditioning coordinator for Wausau West High School.

My wife, Kelly, and I have been married for 18 years and we have three children; Evelyn (13), Nolan (10), and Eleanor (10). We currently live in Wausau, WI but, we’ve spent several weekends exploring the Shawano community and all it has to offer. We are very excited to become a part of the school community, supporting students and teachers and Shawano at large.

I believe strongly in building future leaders and I’m committed to finding experiences that build everyone’s leadership capacity. I know that when an individual takes ownership over their personal improvement, they become lifelong learners; proactively seeking the means for growth. Everyone has the capability to lead in one form or another, it’s our role as educators to help students find their strengths and build on them.

I look forward to a fantastic 2023-2024 school year! I hope you all have had a restful and restorative summer and are looking forward to a great year at Shawano Community High School!

Go Hawks!

With SchoolPay (See attached SchoolPay Parent Guide), you may pay all of your child/children’s fees and add monies to their food service account in one transaction.
