This distinguished recognition celebrates Shaye’s accomplishments, leadership and lasting contributions to the Shelton community. As a proud organization in the Valley, this honor is especially meaningful, recognizing not only her professional achievements but also her continued dedication to making a difference in the lives of others.
A standout multi-sport athlete, compassionate community leader, and devoted youth advocate, Shaye Roscoe embodies the spirit of service and excellence that defines Shelton High School. A 1994 graduate, she was a core presence in SHS athletics, playing four years of varsity basketball and varsity softball. On the softball diamond, she developed into one of the region’s most formidable players.
After earning 2nd Team All-New England honors in her freshman and sophomore years, she elevated her game to achieve First Team All-New England and All-State recognition as a junior and senior, capping her high school career as an All-State catcher, Team MVP, and Softball Captain. Her personal growth was reflected in her team honors, progressing from Most Improved as a freshman to the Unsung Hero Award as a sophomore, the Coaches Award as a junior, and MVP as a senior.
Following graduation, she continued her softball career at Mitchell College, earning First Team All-Conference honors twice while serving as team captain. She went on to build a distinguished career in non-profit leadership, dedicated to empowering youth and strengthening families throughout the Naugatuck Valley. As the Chief Executive Officer of the Boys & Girls Club of the Lower Naugatuck Valley, she guides every aspect of the organization, serving on all in-house committees including Executive, Finance, Development, Marketing, Technology, Safety, Governance, Endowment, and Scholarship. Her reach extends statewide and regionally as President of the Connecticut Alliance for Boys & Girls Clubs, alongside active service with the Valley Council for Human Services, Shelton-Derby Rotary, CHIP Behavioral Mental Health Committee, Collective Impact Committee, and as a Corporator for both Griffin Hospital and the Valley United Way. Her impactful career has earned her prestigious accolades, including the Chamber of Commerce “40 Under 40” Award and induction into the Boys & Girls Club Alumni Hall of Fame.
Her fondest memories of Shelton High School center on the relationships built through athletics and the encouragement of staff who believed in her potential, instilling the confidence, teamwork, and perseverance that shaped her career. She remembers with deep appreciation mentors like Michelle Sedlock, Miss Cesaroni, her 8th-grade teachers, and “Miss Kel”, whose extraordinary support came at a pivotal time in her life. She holds a special place of gratitude for Coach Pic, who recognized her talent in 8th grade while she was playing third base, drove her to the high school to catch for their pitcher, and transformed the trajectory of her softball journey by introducing her to the position that defined her athletic legacy.
She extends her heartfelt thanks to her husband, Adam (SHS Class of 1989), and their children, Brynn (SHS Class of 2024) and Declan (SHS Class of 2029), as well as their sweet dog, Penny, for their unconditional love and joy. She also shares her deep appreciation for her treasured friends, her dedicated colleagues and “work family,” and all the teachers, coaches, and community members who supported, inspired, and guided her along the way.
