Hip Hip Hooray, it was Pre-K's first day today!! 🥰
Class of 2027 - Senior Sunrise! What a fun morning celebrating their last first day of high school! The class spent the morning watching the beautiful sunrise, eating breakfast, and reminiscing the days they played with the parachute in elementary P.E.! We are so proud of you all and excited for the year ahead!
Welcome Back!
Please Be Alert! Students are heading back to school this week!

South Shelby Week Ahead
See you tonight for the Jamboree! Booster Club Meeting to follow!
Open House is tonight, August 20th, 2026 from 3 to 6 pm. See you soon!
It's that time of year again! Incoming parents of 6th graders that are coming into Band, we are having our instrument rental night Monday the 24th in the HS Cafeteria @7 pm. This is a good chance to get your student an instrument at a reasonable price and to meet the new Music, Choir, and Band teacher. Even if you are still on the edge about your student joining band we encourage you to come out and ask questions and talk to Mr. Ryan and our music store representative form Lincoln County Music Supply. If you have any questions please reach out to Mr. Ryan.
Hope to see you all there!
