February 3-7, 2025 is School Board Appreciation Week in Wyoming. This week helps build awareness and understanding of the vital functions our locally elected boards of education play in our community.Big Horn County School District #1 is joining public school districts from across the state to celebrate School Board Appreciation Week and honor local board members for their commitment to our communities and children.
The key work of school boards is to:
Create a vision for what the community wants the school district to be and for making student achievement the top priority;
Ensure there is progress on the district’s goals and students are learning at expected levels;
Create a safe, orderly climate where students can learn and teachers can teach;
Form partnerships with others in the community to solve common problems; and
Focus attention on the need for continuous improvement by questioning, refining and revising issues related to education in the district.
We thank our Board of Trustee members for their service, commitment, and leadership.
