Shafter High School Principal

Welcome to Shafter High School, Home of the Generals!!

We believe our school and community are the crown jewels of the Central Valley!  We are located in the town of Shafter, CA, about 10 miles northwest of Bakersfield.  Approximately 14,000 people reside in Shafter, and Shafter High has a student population of just over 1500.  We are exceptionally proud of our newly modernized campus, which is now a successful fusion of updated technologically advanced buildings and classrooms that maintain the rich traditions of the original architecture.

We believe Shafter High has something for everyone, and we encourage students to take full advantage of everything we have to offer, from our newly expanded Agriculture Farm, to our Industrial Tech, Foods, Fine/Performing Arts and Core Academic programs… as well as a full complement of student organizations, clubs, athletics and activities.  We know that students who reach out and connect with the school in some way outside the normal school day often show improvement in academic achievement and have better attendance.

We hope you’ll have an opportunity to visit our campus and see for yourself all that we have to offer… at Shafter High School, we’re “Looking Forward and Aiming High”!
