Captain Shreve High School (CSHS) is one of the largest high schools in Shreveport, Louisiana. The school is a three-story circular building built in the round. The school gained national attention when Captain Shreve alum and author Will Clarke wrote about his high school experience in the essay "How to Kill a Boy that Nobody Likes". The story, published in Simon & Schuster's anthology When I Was a Loser, was banned by a Rhode Island school district in 2007. Captain Shreve was also made somewhat famous in the 80s for having actress Valerie Bertinelli perform at a talent show when two of her brothers attended school there. In 1973, Captain Shreve won the AAAA State Championship in football.

Famous quotes containing the words captain, high and/or school:
“The captain sat in a commodore’s hat
And dined in a royal way
On toasted pigs and pickles and figs
And gummery bread each day.”

From this would be considerable, too odd. Why not just
Breathe in with the courage of each day, recognizing yourself as one
Who must with difficulty get down from high places?”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“Loosed betwixt eye and lid, the swimming beams
Of memory, blind school of cuttlefish,
Rise to the air, plunge to the cold streams....”
