Long answer: William Shakespeare contributed a great number of plays and poetry to the world, but their themes are so timeless (love, revenge, and the struggle of humanity) that they have never really gone out of style. There is always someone around who wants to read them or see them performed, and their preservation has helped scholars to study the development of the English language.

Short answer: Your English teachers will make you study Shakespeare mainly because they're expected to do it. ;) It's really good writing, though. You should enjoy it, if for no other reasons than that the writing is good and you will possibly get to have a fake swordfight in class.
