Our Mission
To equip and inspire students to be active and engaged citizens in a diverse and changing world.
Our School
Shelton Elementary School is dedicated to crafting an exhilarating educational experience that sparks student achievement and success. By focusing on the unique needs of each student, embracing technology, engaging in problem-based learning, and fostering vibrant parent-community involvement, Shelton creates a truly dynamic environment. With 385 students enrolled in preK through 5th grade, our school is a melting pot of cultures, representing fifteen different languages!
After school, the excitement continues with an extensive range of enrichment activities, including sports, gardening, STEM, robotics, chess, art, drama, cooking, and more! Students can push their limits and shine through competitions like the National Spelling Bee, as well as captivating drama and music performances, not to mention the PTA-sponsored National Reflections Contest.
Community spirit thrives at Shelton, showcased through our hands-onSTEM night, vibrant Art, Music, and PE showcase, and the culturally rich Heritage Fair. Built in 1994 and named after local legend Hal Shelton—a beloved Golden resident and renowned cartographer—Shelton Elementary is more than just a school; it's a place where learning becomes an adventure!
