Mr. Taki Sarhaan, Principal

Welcome to Shades Valley High School!  I am honored to serve as your principal and to lead a school dedicated to excellence and innovation.  Since my tenure began in July of 2019, I have been committed to fostering an environment where every student can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.
 
With over two decades of experience in education, I have had the privilege of serving in various leadership roles, from assistant principal positions at Saks High School, Hueytown High School, and Clay-Chalkville High School, to principal roles at Minor Middle School and now here at Shades Valley.  My journey began as a business education teacher at Oxford High School, and this foundation has shaped my vision for preparing our students for future success in a dynamic world.
 
At Shades Valley High School, we ARE Accountable, Respectful, and Empathetic!  Together with our dedicated faculty and staff, we strive to be a model 21st Century school providing diverse pathways for students to excel in a global society.
 
Thank you for your continued support as we work together to ensure the success of every student.  Go Mounties!
 
Sincerely,
 
Taki Sarhaan, Principal
Shades Valley High School
