Shepaug Valley High School

Shepaug Valley High School is a four-year public, coeducational high school in rural Washington, Connecticut, although it draws residents from nearby Roxbury, Bridgewater, and Sherman as well. Shepaug Valley High School is the only public high school in Region 12. Chosen as Connecticut's only public high school to receive the blue-ribbon school in 1998, and one of two in New England.

Ground plan

Shepaug is a one-floor building housed on an 80-acre (320,000 m²) campus. Since the space is shared with students of Shepaug Valley Middle School, who have their own wing in the building, high school students take academic courses in their own section of the building, a long hallway off of which classrooms branch.

The rest of the building is shared between middle and high school students. It consists of a cafeteria, a large, central cavity known as "the mall", a library resource center with more than 10,000 print volumes, gymnasium, planetarium, swimming pool, band and choir practice rooms, fine arts, auto, and woodworking shops, and a professionally equipped theatre.
