I went to Shelby High School and was a part of the performing arts. I did band and choir. Shelby was very oriented around sports more so than the performing arts. I think that Shelby should get more funding and recognition for the performing arts. It would help people become more active in it and improve the arts. The students will feel more accepted if it were appreciated more. Overall, Shelby has a great education, good teachers and many programs. Shelby High School is a great place to go to.

They will only be held back, unable to grow. I do, forever like the teachers. Shelby has good teachers th...
