Pelham City Schools

Pelham City Schools is the school district of Pelham, Alabama.

Pelham had separated from the Shelby County School System on July 1, 2014.[1] Some residents of Pelham living near Chelsea opposed the separation, since their areas were about 13 miles (21 km) to 15 miles (24 km) away from the Pelham schools.[2] The Shelby County officials stated that a separation would require people living in the separated municipality to go to that municipality's schools.[3] A Change.org petition to have those faraway neighborhoods de-annexed from Pelham was established.[4]
