  • History of Shepton

    Shepton commemorates what had used to be an old farming community (once-located near Preston Road on the J.W. Shepard ranch). 

    Shepton High School was built during the mid-1980s as a high school, but district officials realized that a middle school was of greater necessity during the time. Thus, Renner Middle School was moved into the area.

    A second Shepton High was completed in 1990 at a cost of $12.5 million, though the school moved back to its original setting after a new school was built in order to house Renner.
