“It’s awesome. It’s great to see everyone supporting the brand. It feels so good to walk around the school and see people wearing merch that I designed. This year’s drop was a little bigger than last year’s, so it is great to have a brand that continues to grow. I never imagined that I would see my teachers wearing my merch around the school that I attend,” said Tronoski ‘25

Around 50 people, students, staff and coaches ordered from the drop. Most people bought sweatshirts or sweatpants, along with a beanie. Sweatshirts and pants retailed at $45 dollars, and beanies cost $15 dollars.

Shane started Sweats and Jawns in 2019 with an idea but created a physical product in 2024 during the school year. Shane has been taking Sweats and Jawns to the next level in the Peak Pathways program run by Ms. Prime. This year Shane redesigned the sweatshirt design with a colorful ballon letter design. The traditional yellow and navy logo was still used on the beanies.

Shane would like to continue the brand further than Northwood with the creation of an online shop. His motto of “Stay True” will be carried throughout the brand as long as it exists. Shane would like to sell to whoever he would like in the future, branching out to more than just people he knows.

This is a great example of how the peak pathways program at Northwood can take students’ visions to new heights.
