Come support Shelby County High School’s fall play! Go rockets!🚀
"Radium Girls" is a powerful play based on the true story of female factory workers in the 1920s who were poisoned by radium while painting watch dials. As they fight for justice against corporate negligence, the play highlights themes of resilience, the struggle for workers' rights, and the impact of industrialization on health and safety.

Shelby County High School Forfeits Game on September 27 Due to Weather and Safety Concerns**
Shelbyville, KY, [September 26, 2024]** – Shelby County High School has announced the decision to forfeit the upcoming football game scheduled for Friday, September 27, due to inclement weather, a recent change in coaching staff, and the overall safety of our students.
Dr. Carla Kent, principal of Shelby County High School, emphasized the importance of mental preparedness during this transition. "With a change in leadership, we want to ensure our students feel ready to compete mentally and have ample time to acclimate to their new coach," she stated.
Athletic Director Charlotte Marshall highlighted that player safety remains the top priority in this decision. "The well-being of our athletes is paramount, and we believe this choice reflects our commitment to their safety and development."
Superintendent Dr. Josh Matthews supported the decision, affirming that the school always prioritizes students in challenging situations. "I fully support Dr. Kent. We are dedicated to moving forward, building a strong team, and finishing the season with resilience."

Shelbyville, KY – Shelby County High School (SCHS) announces that Coach Josh Jaggers is resigning due to health reasons as head coach of the SCHS Football Team. The school is grateful for Coach Jaggers' dedication and contributions to the program. “I want to thank Coach Jaggers for his time, talent, and dedication to the SCHS Football program and our students,” said Dr. Josh Matthews, Superintendent. “He is an excellent coach and a great person.”
In light of this transition, Mr. George Eskridge will step in as the interim head coach. Eskridge, who brings a wealth of experience to the role, has coached at multiple levels including high school, collegiate, and professional (Campbellsville University and Louisville Fire Arena Football, AF2).
Before his tenure at Campbellsville, Eskridge spent four successful years with the Louisville Fire, an Arena Football AF2 team, where he served as Special Teams Coordinator and coached Fullbacks and Linebackers. Under his leadership, the Fire achieved a record of 41-30 and made three postseason appearances, culminating in the 2005 American Conference championship and a spot in the Arena Cup.
Eskridge's coaching accolades continued at Campbellsville, where he played a key role in securing two Mid-South Conference West Division titles. He was also active in the track and field program, where he helped coach multiple champions and All-Americans.
A graduate of the University of Louisville, Eskridge's coaching journey includes 12 years of experience as a high school assistant coach at Louisville Eastern High School and North Hardin High School.
"We are excited to have Coach Eskridge step in during this transition," said SCHS Principal Dr. Carla Kent. "His extensive coaching background and proven track record will be invaluable to the students on the team as we move forward. We want our SCHS Football program to continue to grow."
We look forward to welcoming Coach Eskridge's leadership and we are eager to support the team as they continue to build on the program at Shelby County High School.
