Tomorrow, a new school year begins in Shelby County — but today, over 1,100 SCPS staff members gathered for Opening Day as one team with one purpose: to make a difference.

From every classroom, bus route, office, lunchroom, and more, we each play a role in shaping lives. No matter how we serve, we serve together.
This year, our mission is simple but powerful: Complete the Circle.
We’ll Learn. We’ll Lead. We’ll give of ourselves for our students, our schools, and our community.

We can't wait to welcome students back tomorrow. Let's make it the best year yet! #CompleteTheCircle #ShelbyInspired 🔵
