2013 Shaker graduates Jack Nemeth and Andrew Rossman hold posters at the annual Chief Wahoo protest. Protesters compared the Chief Wahoo logo to any other bigoted mascot, saying that it promotes racist values and furthers disrespect of Native cultures. “I went there [to the protest] because I wanted to show my disapproval because we had the Holocaust, and [our] people were dehumanized by these caricatures,” said Nemeth. “And this propaganda and this Chief Wahoo is the same thing because in America we took their land--[the land of] people who didn't really have choice of us coming there.”

Shaker's graduation rate went up six percentage points, a change attributed to the state's new measurment method and practices within the district.
