Welcome Community

Shelton School District is located where the Salish Sea meets the gateway to the Olympic Mountains, serving the Squaxin Island and Skokomish Indian Nations and growing Latino population. We are committed to building positive, purposeful relationships with every student and family and providing learning at the highest level. Diversity among Shelton families and staff is valued, sought, and embraced. Different abilities and backgrounds do not limit educator expectations on student outcomes.

We acknowledge the variety of students’ lived experiences and backgrounds, which may encompass racial, ethnic, religious, gender, gender identity, sexuality, economic class status, age, family structures, language, cognitive and physical ability, and trauma which inform individual experiences.

Our vision is to create opportunities for young people to discover, research, and launch their own best futures by inspiring, challenging, and empowering all students.
