Just a week on the heels of our SHS All Class Reunion came the news that a 15 year old boy named Adam Hernandez faced trial for an in-school theft that happened on March 30, 2010. For some reason, the event escalated to a handcuffed arrest by the in-school police presence (a presence which is not uncommon in schools). As of today, July 19, 2010, at noon, all charges have been dropped.
The issue of in-house police at SHS and the informed follow-through on such cases this is becoming something that will warrant further discussion by the community, the school board, and the police department. For now, please rest assured the charges have been dropped. The Shorewood Police Dept has issued a public statement.
The story was covered in the Milwaukee Journal/Sentinel on 7/20 - the rally did happen, and the discussion has now shifted to putting Shorewood on the forefront of the national discussion about police/high school disciplinary lines.

A Very Special Weekend
Dear SHS Alumni Community past, present and future: Shorewood is a special Place.
Volunteers, participants, band members - we are all equally responsible for a wonderful weekend of hugs and welcoming each other back home.
Here's to the little engine that could, for making stone soup turn into a united village, and for so many warm and wonderful feelings towards one another, the school, and the place we all called home at one point.
It is very special to me to be able to make this happen, and I love that people from the Classes of 1933 to 2010 ran into people they haven't seen in years. How could this NOT be an annual event?! Same time next year!
Uh Rah Rah Rah, Shorewood red and grey, you are my home, you are my family, you are the closely knit community that will now help me raise my children. It was a magical and transcendent weekend that overrode all organizational boundaries within the district. Thank you so much for letting me lead. Thank you for trusting me that this wacky huge party idea was going to be a hit, and thank you for everyone who came forward to contribute.
