Opening the MET

About 100 people attended the official opening May 25 of the Shelton School District's Manufacturing, Engineering & Technology (MET) Academy building on the Shelton High School campus. High School students, who have been learning in the building since November, gave attendees demonstrations of the equipment in the facility.
