History

Shepton High School is the second largest freshman/sophomore high school in PISD and was built on land once owned by Joseph W. Shepard.^[2] The current principal of Shepton High School is David Jones.

Shepton High School opened in 1984 at its current location. To accommodate the growth in the city, it moved to a larger facility from 1990-1998, located on Parker Road (and the current location of Plano West Senior High School). Shepton has since moved back to its original location and undergone many renovations to the building. In 2016, voters in Plano ISD approved a $481 million dollar bond package, with a substantial amount dedicated to Shepton campus renovations.

Awards

Shepton has won numerous awards for its participation in athletics, business, fine arts, and other programs throughout the school. The Shepton Chamber Orchestra of 2010-2011 won the Mark of Excellence in a national competition.
