HSH Gets New Sprinkler System

Dew Drop Irrigation of Shelby has been busy bringing a whole new sprinkler system to HSH located at 133 6 th Ave South. HSH or Historic Shelby High is better known by its past names. The building was built in 1931 as Shelby High School. It remained Shelby High until 1962 when the new Shelby High School was completed on the North side of town. It then became Shelby Junior High and in the 1980s it became known as Shelby Middle School. In 2003 the building ceased being used by the Shelby school system when a new elementary school was built. Shelby city government then took over ownership of the 30,172 sq. foot building with the intent of making it into a community center, adult education facility, and the heart of a future community college. In the below photo, Dew Drop Irrigation uses a "pipe puller", a small machine that pulls plastic pipe underground, to install the new sprinkler system. The photo shows how the pipe is fed into the ground. This new and first time system will water the turf on three sides of the HSH building.
