The original building on the multiple building campus of the school is the administration building, it was constructed in 1925 and features a copper dome that is 40 feet in diameter and is currently used a social studies classroom.
The campus features a 1,211 seat auditorium that resembles the RKO Theater, now known as Radio City Music Hall. The auditorium was renamed the Barb Gensler Theater for The Dramatic Arts in 2012 in honor of retired drama department director Barbara Gensler and her 47 years of service to the school.
In 1998 the Manual Arts Building which housed woods, metals and drafting classes, was renovated and now houses the Community Fitness Center.
Shorewood Stadium in Shorewood is the home to the Shorewood High School football, boys and girls soccer, and, boys and girls lacrosse teams.
