Morristown Junior-Senior High is in the northeastern part of Shelby County, very close to Hancock County. In relation to the town, Morristown High School sits at the very center of the town. The school is only 5 miles away from the intersection of two major highways, State Road 9 and U.S. Route 52, which means that students living in the surrounding areas of Fountaintown and beyond would also go to Morristown.
District
All Morristown and Waldron schools are part of Shelby Eastern Schools. The administration building is located very near Rays Crossing, Indiana, and is almost equidistant from both Morristown and Waldron schools. Shelby Eastern School Corporation is just one of five school districts within Shelby County.
Education
Morristown Jr.-Sr. High school offers 3 types of degrees. Those are the regular diploma, the Core 40 diploma, and the Academic Honors Diploma. Each of these has a separate set of criteria as defined by the Indiana State Board of Education. While most high schools offer a fair amount of AP courses for their students to take, Morristown High School is still struggling for these classes as well as for staff qualified to teach them. As of right now, the following AP classes are offered: US History (added 05-06 school year), Calculus AB, French, and Biology. Dual Enrollment courses through Vincennes University are also offered for first year English and Composition courses. Whether or not the credits transfer is up to individual universities.
Athletics
Morristown offers several sports activities for both boys and girls to participate in. Boys may participate in the following sports: soccer, tennis, cross country, basketball, baseball, track, and golf. Girls may participate in:cross country, volleyball, basketball, gymnastics, cheerleading, softball, tennis, track, and golf.At one point, Morristown Jr.-Sr. High School had a football team, however present school funds do not allow such an endeavor.
Activities
Alongside athletics, there are a variety of activities offered that students may participate in. Although some activities are gender exclusive, every student has something to choose from. The activities include: Academic Super Bowl & Spell Bowl, Art Club, Drama Club, French Club, National Honor Society, Varsity Club, FIRST Robotics (now teamed with Greenfield-Central High School), Shelby County Youth Drug Free Coalition, Spanish Club, Student Council, Sunshine Society, SADD, Marching Band and Pep Band.
