Malcolm Shabazz City High School

Malcolm Shabazz City High School is a public high school in Madison, Wisconsin, United States. It was founded in 1971 as Malcolm Shabazz High School, changing its name in 1979 after merging with City High School which was founded 1972. Shabazz is one of six secondary schools in the Madison Metropolitan School District. It was named in honor of the activist Malcolm X, also known as Malcolm Shabazz.

Shabazz is known for its informal atmosphere (students refer to teachers and the principal by their first names) and emphasis on individuality and social and political activism. According to former a social studies teacher, Gene Delcourt, "Shabazz was designed to be an alternative school for the sake of it being an alternative school, rather than it being a last chance for diploma completion or the last chance for kids who were falling through the cracks. When the school was founded, it was originally founded by students who were motivated to learn something other than what mainstream schools were teaching. Teachers responded to that by teaching their passion."
