Shelby County is in good shape this afternoon thanks to the tireless work of our city and county road crews!

We’ll be keeping our eyes on road conditions throughout tonight, and will provide updates tomorrow morning by 5:30 if we have any for Wednesday, December 3rd. If you hear nothing from us, that means we’ll be ready to welcome students back into the classroom bright and early!

Today we honor Martha Layne Collins: a proud Shelby County resident, graduate of Shelbyville High School, a former teacher, Kentucky’s first and only female governor, and the namesake of our Titans. Governor Collins was a steadfast supporter of Shelby County, its students, and pushing education forward across the entire state; always leading by example and showing just how high our young people can reach. It is an honor to be part of her lasting legacy, and we will continue to carry forward her vision and good work for generations to come. Our thoughts go out to her family and friends during this time.
