At the core of our district is an exceptional community of dedicated faculty and staff devoted to providing rich and engaging learning experiences for our 20,000 students in seven school zone communities: Calera, Chelsea, Columbiana, Helena, Montevallo, Oak Mountain, and Vincent.
Shelby County Schools is one of the largest employers in Shelby County and the 10th largest employer in the Birmingham metro area. Our system is committed to supporting our teachers and staff through competitive wages, a comprehensive benefits package, and high-quality professional development experiences.
