The Shelton Public Schools are committed to developing and promoting a partnership-driven system of education and skill development between the Shelton Public Schools and the local business community that prepares students to be successful and productive lifelong learners and workers.

Junior Achievement

The Shelton Public Schools have successfully partnered with Junior Achievement of Western Connecticut to provide over two thousand students with meaningful career development and contextual learning experiences. Kindergarten through adult classroom programs and work site job shadowing opportunities are offered to students throughout the system. Junior Achievement help students to learn first hand about what the "world of work" is really about.

School To Career

School to Career provides educationally rewarding and beneficial learning experiences for all students. Work and school based learning, and connecting activities create pathways which provide all students with academic and work based opportunities that are an integral part of a continuum of life-long learning. By integrating vocational studies with relevant college preparatory curriculum components, we prepare students to meet the educational needs of the 21st century.

The Shelton School System has worked with the Connecticut State Departments of Education and Labor and with business and labor organizations in developing and implementing this program.

Pupil Personnel Services

The Shelton School System offers a full range of Pupil Personnel Services designed to meet the development needs of all students. School counselors, nurses, psychologists, social workers, speech and language pathologists, and other qualified school professionals provide integrated support service within the school setting.

These highly trained professionals work with the educational staff to encourage student success. The team offers a comprehensive range of services including: screening, assessment, diagnosis, treatment, counseling and consultation.

Mentoring Program

For just one moment, think back to a time in your life when you were young and thought no one was on your side. Close your eyes and picture someone in your life that reminded you that you were special, and could succeed no matter what. When you open your eyes again, you probably have a clear image of that person - friend, relative, teacher, etc. who was there for you, providing consistent and reliable support. For more than 100 students in the Shelton School System, their images are of their "mentors" - caring men and women throughout the greater Shelton area who volunteer their time to spend on hour each week with their men tees during the school day.

Shelton Alternate Education

The Shelton Alternate Education Program is a voluntary program that provides students with an opportunity to earn a Shelton High School diploma in a non-traditional learning environment. Utilizing innovative approaches to teaching and learning, the Shelton Alternate Education Program offers students with a variety of needs an opportunity to achieve personal and educational growth.

Shelton High Robotics Program

The Shelton High School robotics team extended its business sponsorship to include UTC/Sikorsky and OEM, as well as numerous community contributors to organize a teamfor the F.I.R.S.T. (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) Robotics Competition. Shelton's Robotics Team performed admirably, reaching the New England regional and the National Galileo division of F.I.R.S.T held at Epcot Center in Orlando, Florida.

REAP

Students who are Academically gifted are invited to particpate in REAP, an acronym for Reach Every Able Pupil. This program provides the school system's highest achievers with an opportunity to enhance and expand their knowledge and interests.

The citywide PTA Council links our local PTA with out State and National PTA offices with our school administers, staff, and Board of Education. The council's main focus is to encourage parent and community involvement in the Shelton School System, and to promote the safety and welfare of its children.
