Fremont County School District No. 2

Dubois K–12 School

Fremont County School District #2 is a one-campus school that serves approximately 150 students in kindergarten through high school. Located in western Wyoming, we sit between the Wind River Reservation and the outskirts of Yellowstone National Park. The small town of Dubois (pronounced dew boys) is a spectacular place to grow up. 

We believe that the key to successful graduates is to get our students involved in our community and the surrounding environment. Our administrators support our teachers and provide the resources they need to help every child grow to meet his or her potential. 

Dubois School is the K–12 school that educates the Fremont County School District students. We have unique educational challenges that come from living in a small, isolated community. But our geographic location and small population encourage innovative methods of bring the world to our students, and we strive to help all learners reach their goals and their full potential.

While most of our teachers work as a department of one, they engage students in numerous authentic learning tasks to increase student background knowledge and address standards in a real-world context. 

A Message from our Principal

    It is with great pride and excitement that I write this letter of introduction to you as the newly appointed principal of Dubois K-12 School. I am honored to have the opportunity to lead this school, which has a rich tradition of excellence in community and education! I have been dedicated to the field of education for more than twenty years and have worked with a variety of students ranging in age from kindergarten through high school. My most recent administrative experience was at an international school in South Korea where I served as director in a K-12 private school. I am excited and eager to bring my skills as an educational leader to Dubois and work with you as a partner in education to ensure your child's success.

    Along with the teachers and staff, I will work hard to continue the legacy of success established by Dubois Schools by building strong relationships with parents, students, and community partners. We will focus on character education initiatives, essential standards, and the use of data to drive instruction. We will also provide consistent implementation of the curriculum in a rigorous manner so that we can continue to increase student achievement.

    All of us at Dubois Schools are eager and excited to begin what promises to be the best year ever. This year is going to be amazing as we continue to provide academic and life experiences for our students that are rigorous, relevant, and help them build relationships while making real-world connections. It is important that everyone who steps through our door (principal, teachers, staff, students, and parents) is excited to be here! This attitude enables us to meet the challenges of academic excellence in a positive, fun, and nurturing environment. My door is always open and I welcome your input throughout the school year.  

    I look forward to working with you as a team to help each student at Dubois K-12 School meet their goals and have a successful school year!

    All the best,

    Tad Romsa
