Shaw High School

The Shaw High School is a location in the Commonwealth in Fallout 4.

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. A delinquent student by the name of Rusty Burton caught wind of Principal Tanner's plan (due to an intelligence increase from taking them himself) and sought to blackmail him in exchange for half of the money.

Notable loot

 * Property of R. Burton holotape - At the [Novice] locked room behind the Book Return Machine, at the library.
 * Unstoppables issue #1 (+1% chance of avoiding all damage from an attack) - In the northwest room of the school library. Go down the north corridor, go up the stairs and turn right and the library is on the right.
 * If the Sole Survivor is unable to pick [Master] locks, the Library key can be found in Principal Tanner's desk, directly west of the main entrance behind an [Expert] locked door.
 * Principal's office key can be found in Rusty's Lunch, located on the second floor.
 * 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 sparkling wires in the room).
 * 8 overdue books - One upstairs on a desk on the East side of the school, the other upstairs on a desk on the West side of the school. Another one on the floor near a locker, there is a mine nearby. Another is on a toilet in the bathroom next to the cafeteria (last stall). 4 are in the library, 1 in the main section on an overturned bookcase to the left of the book return, 3 more in the room where the comic book is. The overdue book return terminal contains mentats for 100 tokens and 3 other unlabeled items for 5 tokens each.
 * 2 Nuka Cola Quantums - Behind a Nuka Cola Machine near the northwest staircase.
