The Shelbyville High School is a historic school complex located at Shelbyville, Shelby County, Indiana. The high school was designed by architects William Butts Ittner and built in 1911. It is a two-story, Neoclassical style brick building on a raised basement. Attached to the high school is the similarly styled, 2 1/2-story junior high school designed by Elmer E. Dunlap and built in 1917. The Arts and Crafts inspired two-story, brick gymnasium was added in 1922. A shop addition was constructed in 1942, and was connected to the junior high school by a concrete block addition in 1977. The school buildings have been converted to apartments and the gymnasium is used for community recreational activities.[2]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.[1]
