South Shelby High School is a school located in Shelbina, Missouri, United States. It is a part of the Shelby County R-IV School District.

It is home to the Cardinals and the LadyBirds. School colors are Red and Blue. Students between the grades of 9-12 have attended this school in Northeast Missouri since it first opened it doors to students on November 23, 1965. The school was built on 4154 Highway 36 at a geographically central location within the district and was the product of merging two separate school districts, Clarence and Shelbina. A middle school was later built in the 90's connecting to the high school. A elementary school was then later built in 2020, finally connecting the schools completely. South Shelby's current principal is Tim Maddex and Superintendent is Troy Clawson.

One South Shelby player has a current men's basketball MSHSAA record in the category 'Records Broken by a Single Person, During one Quarter'. Over a lapse of an entire season South Shelby holds a record for the most "Three-point Shots Made" accomplished 28 during the 2008–2009 season.

South Shelby's newest sport Cross Country started in 2009, but only for women. Due to MSHSAA regulation they were not able to add it as a men's sport otherwise another women's sport would have to be added to equalize the number of sports for both genders.

There are four elite men from South Shelby who have current records on the state level during a single football game. As an overall team with an entire season worth of statistics South Shelby is ranked number one on "Total Interceptions" with two during the 2006 season with a total of 33. In 2010 they also rank for the most sacks having 49 total. Lastly, they are tied on number eight of "Total Game Shutouts" in 2006.
