NewUpdate

Welcome to the start of another exciting school year! As we open our doors and welcome students back into our classrooms across Wyoming, I am filled with gratitude for the dedication, passion, and resilience each of you brings to our schools every single day. You are the heart of our education system, shaping the future of our state one student at a time. To kick off this year with inspiration and shared purpose, I am honored to share a special message from our 2026 Wyoming Teacher of the Year, Michelle Roundy [ [link removed] ]. 

Michelle embodies the true spirit of Wyoming educators, and I am grateful for her commitment to representing all of you during her reign as Teacher of the Year. Thank you all for your unwavering commitment to Wyoming’s children. Let’s make this school year our best one yet!
