Shelby County Public Schools serves the students of Shelby County, Kentucky. Shelbyville, our county seat and the "Saddlebred Capital of the World," is approximately 32 miles east of Louisville.  Colonel Harland Sanders (founder of Kentucky Fried Chicken) spent the last twenty years of his life here in Shelby. Martha Layne Collins (first female governor of Kentucky) moved to Shelbyville as a sixth-grader; Martha Layne Collins High School was named in her honor.  For more information on Shelby County, visit its official tourism website.

Our district has nearly 7,000 students and well over 400 certified educators.  The district consists of thirteen schools: one preschool, six elementary, two middle, and four high schools.  These high schools include our Area Technology Center and Big Picture Learning Academy, currently the only Big Picture program in Kentucky.  Dr. Sally Sugg serves as the district's superintendent.

As part of our district vision of twenty-first century learning, SCPS provides each student access to an Internet capable device; this means we have a ratio of one device for every student (one to one, or "1:1").  This is usually a Chromebook for most grade levels, and a MacBook Air for some high school students taking dual credit college classes.  For most older students, this also means the opportunity to take the device home, although for our youngest students, the device usually remains in the classroom.  

You are NOT required to purchase your own personal device.  However, a student may potentially use their own device in addition to their district device, assuming that the student is a responsible user of their technology.  Since rules for personal device usage may vary from building to building and classroom to classroom, please contact your student's teacher(s) or principal for more information.

If a student wants to use their own device instead of the district device, our building techs will make a determination if the personal device meets our instructional needs.  The general guidelines are: the device needs a keyboard, must have a reasonably performing processor and hard drive, and have the ability to install a fully functioning Chrome browser in order to access their Shelby G Suite Drive and extensions/apps.  (Therefore, most newer Windows and Mac laptops would qualify, while most smartphones and tablets such as a Windows Surface would not.)

Protection from and proper usage of the Internet is provided by SCPS in two important ways.

We have a filtering computer/network program in place to block as much inappropriate content as possible. 

We also have a K-12 digital citizenship curriculum that strives to teach each student a minimum of five digital citizenship lessons each school year -- one lesson for each of our focus strands: Digital Footprint, Cyberbullying, Copyright and the Law, Relationships and Communication, and Information Literacy.  For more information about our digital citizenship program, you can contact your school's librarian or Adam Watson, the district's Digital Learning Coordinator.

We would love to have you as a volunteer!  Please check this page for information.
