Captain Shreve High School (CSHS) is one of the largest high schools in Shreveport, Louisiana, USA. The school is a three-story circular building. 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 1980s for having actress Valerie Bertinelli perform at a talent show when two of her brothers attended school there.[1][2] In 1973, Captain Shreve won the AAAA State Championship in football.
