Shelbyville High School SADD
First Activity Reporting Form submitted in 2025-26! Pictured is Sparty, the school's therapy dog. With him are SADD leaders and Youth Council members, Julie, Emma, and Hannah. Nearby, maybe behind the camera, is Shelbyville SADD advisor, Kimberly Ferguson.

August 2025 Chapter Spotlight
Jim Noffsinger Legacy Award
After attending the 2000 SADD National Conference, Jim Noffsinger, a SADD chapter advisor, returned to Indiana and began developing Indiana SADD. By 2001, Indiana SADD was awarded a grant from the Indiana Criminal Justice Institute’s Council on Impaired and Dangerous Driving.
Jim had recently retired and resided in Gulf Shores, Alabama, when he died following complications from cancer in 2015. In 2016, Indiana SADD created the Jim Noffsinger Legacy Award to be presented annually to an outstanding SADD chapter.
