Shelby County Schools (Tennessee)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Shelby County School District is the fourth largest school system in Tennessee with a population of over 45,000 students.

The district includes almost all of the public schools in Shelby County outside the corporate limits of the city of Memphis, including those schools located within the six incorporated towns of Arlington, Bartlett, Collierville, Germantown, Lakeland and Millington. In January of 2002, the Shelby County Schools Board of Education selected Dr. Bobby G. Webb as the 22nd Superintendent of Shelby County Schools. He is the only superintendent to be recognized twice by the Tennessee Organization of School Superintendents as Tennessee's Superintendent of the Year for 1996 and 2001.
