Gray Shelton
Board Member
Retired, Guilford County Public Schools
Gray Shelton has been involved with the Wake Forest Community Youth Orchestra for many years as a parent. She joined the board in 2019. Gray is passionate about making sure music education is available to all children.
“I was fortunate that someone generously paid for my piano lessons when I was five. This started a lifetime love of music and art that has continued into my adult years. I feel strongly that music education teaches more than just notes on a staff. Perseverence, community, and critical thinking are just a few things that kids learn from participating in group and individual music education.”
Gray is a graduate of East Carolina University with a Bachelor’s of Science degree in Interior Design and a minor in Business. Music has been a big part of her life. She currently works as a construction project manager and interior design for a local construction company.
