Shafter High was in need of a new mascot after the old one was tattered and ready to retire. We are proud to introduce our new and improved mascot based on General Shafter, which our town and school are named after. This new mascot was custom made and designed with our students in mind.

Thank you to Mrs. Smith, Mrs. Maldonado and Mrs. Labrentz for bringing this project to life.

Get ready for some General Spirit!! If you see him around campus, games or events be sure to say HI and take a picture and use #GeneralMascot on Twitter!

A HUGE Thank You to our sponsors. This wasn’t possible without your support: Chevron (Adam A. Alvidrez), Rotary Club of Shafter (Cathy Prout, Blake Goehring), Kiwanis Club of Shafter, Chamber of Commerce, Principal Shipley (Tammy Shipley), Brian Feaster, Anne Taylor, Carol Starrh Kroeker, DeeAnn Kroeker, Ritina Byrd Jones, John Chacon, Dennis N Erica Farmer, Scott Mann, Catherine Finelli May, Nancy Gohr, Christine Williamson, Anton Labrentz, Gita Labrentz, Phyllis Rudberg, Jennifer Payne, Yvette Alvidrez-Graves, Erica Patiño, Phillip & Gina Files, Natalie Janzen Lehmann, Stephanie Payne McPhetridge and Marsha Payne.
