We appreciate the hard work and dedication of our teachers and staff every day, but we love to celebrate them during Teacher Appreciation Week. This week staff were presented with gift bags that included an engraved tumbler, candy and a Wind River Cougars Car Sticker. Just a small token of our appreciation for all they do, all year long.
We would like to also thank Mr. Crowson and his third period students, Brayden Tatro, Blake Snyder, Jacob Hardcastle, Tucker Hardcastle and Isaac Gardner for engraving the tumblers for staff appreciation. You did a great job!!!

Some of our Juniors and Seniors had the opportunity to attend the Union Trade Day hosted by Wind River TERO. Students learned how to do some pipefitting, making their own bottle openers. They used a simulator to learn how to operate heavy equipment used in building roads. Some even had the chance to drive a mini excavator. The students learned that Wyoming has several all expenses paid training programs in a variety of high paying trade careers. Training programs represented included boilermakers, electricians, sheet metal workers, pipefitters, plumbers, and operating engineers.
Students and staff members are invited to wear red on Thursday, May 2nd in honor of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Persons.
