Ellie Shelton, Staff
Ellie Shelton is a Senior at McIntosh and this is her first year on the Trail Staff. She decided to join after discovering the site and seeing how students were free to express themselves there. Shelton is interested in writing about politics, feminism and philosophy.
During her many years of taking Spanish classes in school, she has competed in and won poetry declamation contests at Clemson University, winning first place last year for her performance. Along with Spanish, her other passions are classic literature and computer science. She especially seeks out problem-solving because it gives her a sense of accomplishment and helps her stay determined.
Shelton is spending her last year of school on the varsity Quiz Bowl team and working at the daycare Royal Learners. Outside of school and work, she spends her time reading and finding out new things.
“There are so many things to find out about this world. Be curious. Seek out knowledge and you will find it.”
