Shelby High School

Message

Dear Coyote Participant:
As a participant in the Shelby Activities Program you are an Ambassador for Shelby High School and the Shelby Community. The privilege to participate carries responsibilities to yourself, to your community and to your school. Your foremost responsibility is to yourself. Your challenge to yourself is to be the best that you can be as a student, as a citizen and as a competitor. You are expected to promote the Pride and Traditions of Shelby High School. Scores of generations have passed through these halls. Each has added to the glory and tradition of Shelby High School. This has been paid for in hard work, dedication and determination. As a student, when you take the stage/court/field as a Shelby Coyote, you inherit these traditions.
You are responsible to abide by the expectations of this Student Activities Handbook. You have a responsibility to the younger students in our community. You are a role model for the students following and are expected to provide positive leadership. Just as you looked up to the High School students when you were younger, the younger students are now looking to you for positive guidance and leadership.
Read the poem below. It explains our expectations for you as Coyote.
Little Eyes Upon You!
Author Unknown
There are little eyes upon you
and they’re watching night and day.
There are little ears that quickly
take in every word you say.
There are little hands all eager
to do anything you do;
And the little boy who' s dreaming
of the day he'll be like you.
You’re the little fellow's idol,
You’re the wisest of the wise.
in his little mind about you
no suspicions ever arise.
He believes in you devoutly,
holds, all that you say and do;
He will say and do, in your way,
when he’s grown up like you.
There’s a wide-eyed little fellow
who believes you're always right;
and his eyes are always opened,
and he watches day and night.
You are setting an example
every day in all you do,
For the little boy who's waiting
to grow up to be like you.
