The Shelton High School Gates on Constitution Boulevard North are closed during school hours. They are re-opened at dismissal time and re-locked at 4:15 p.m. They will be open for all major high school functions. While parents may find this inconvenient, it has led to a significant decrease in the vandalism and trash on campus.
