==Novel==
Helen is a member of The Mortimer Snerds and one of the girls who were running for prom queen. She bullies Carrie White during the shower incident by making throwing-up gestures and throwing tampons at her.
She also helped in decorating for the upcoming prom along with Sue Snell and did not object to the idea of Tommy Ross taking Carrie to the prom because she herself implied that they had behaved wrongly. 
However, Sue suspected that she knew something was going to happen to Carrie and was hiding something from her. At the prom Helen burst into tears of laughter when Carrie became the victim of the evil prank. It is unknown if she survived The Black Prom.
==1976 Film==
Helen Shyres is portrayed by Edie McClurg in the 1976 film and is a bully of Carrie White, a member of The Mortimer Snerds and the best friend of Chris Hargensen, Sue Snell and Norma Watson. She is present during the shower incident and also at Miss Collins' detention. 
During the boot camp-style detention Helen is seen making a very nasty face because of her being in Miss Collins' detention and not in another teacher's detention. Helen is then seen getting her hair done for the prom along with Norma and laughing about Tommy Ross taking Carrie to the prom. She is later seen for a split-second helping Frieda Jason and Sue in the decorations she then attends the prom only to serve drinks along with Ruth Gogan. During the prank Helen is very shocked and speechless but in Carrie's hallucination she is seen laughing at her. When Carrie starts to close and lock all the exit doors with her telekinetic powers Helen quickly freaks out and starts to get scared. 
Then when the massacre begins Helen tries to a find another exit door with Ruth but fails miserably and is killed when she is knocked over roughly by one of the tables hard. 
Ruth and another guy can be seen attending to her body but it appears to be too late. Unfortunately her body burns along with all the other students and teachers as the building crumbles to the ground when Carrie leaves the burning prom.
