Shaw High School

The Shaw High School is a location in the Commonwealth in 2287.

Background
Prior to the Great War, students at Shaw High School were receiving very low test scores. Ronald Tanner, a failed Vault-Tec salesman and current principal of Shaw High School, devised a plan to raise test scores by smuggling Mentats into the school and coercing delinquent students to distribute them to the student body in secret.

Principal Tanner believed that if he could raise test scores then the school district would increase the funding to the school, most of which he would then keep for himself. Tanner decided to use a delinquent student by the name of Rusty Burton to distribute the Mentats initially in exchange for a longer lunch period. Rusty later caught wind of Principal Tanner's full plan (due to an intelligence increase from taking them himself) and sought to blackmail him in exchange for half of the embezzled money.

 * The school is an excellent source of Mentats, as a minimum of 26 boxes can be found throughout the location, 13 of which are in the locked closet in the principal's office.
 * Several Vault-Tec lunchboxes in the cafeteria in the center of the building and surrounding classrooms. Another one on a desk in a classroom on the second floor (for reference: there are sparking wires in the room).
