About Us

Malcolm Shabazz City High School is one of six high schools within the Madison Metropolitan School District. Shabazz is a safe, diverse, and interconnected learning community where all students can receive the support they need to develop their strengths, cultivate their talents, and overcome obstacles to achieve their goals. Shabazz has a deep commitment to interconnected learning communities. 

At Shabazz, students graduate with 22 credits and although they graduate from Shabazz, graduates receive a diploma from their zoned home school, either East, Memorial, La Follette or West High School. 

Shabazz students have multiple opportunities to acquire and develop the skills or pillars of what we believe encompass a Shabazz graduate.
