November 10, 2026 - The Shelby County Ag Mechanics Foundation recently presented Michael Elliott, Ag Teacher at Shelbyville High School, with two checks in recognition of an outstanding year for the Shelbyville FFA Ag Mechanics Program.
This year's Poultry Festival showcased an impressive 146 student projects. Shelbyville ISD presented 37 projects, bringing in an incredible $28,000 in earnings for the Ag Department. This marks the highest earnings total the program has achieved to date!
Each project represented countless hours of planning, creativity, dedication, and hard work. The talent and craftsmanship displayed by Shelbyville students were evident throughout this year's showcase, reflecting the skills they continue to develop through the Ag Mechanics program.
The success of this year's Poultry Festival would not be possible without the commitment of our students, the guidance of our Ag Department, and the continued generosity and support of the Shelby County Ag Mechanics Foundation and the community.
Shelbyville ISD is incredibly proud of our students and their accomplishments. Their hard work and determination continue to make the Shelbyville Dragons shine!
Congratulations to our Ag Mechanics students and instructors on an outstanding, record-breaking year!
