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 on my first official day as the principal of Dubois K–12 School. As we kick off the year, I want to express how proud I am to be a member of the Ram Family. As a 2003 Fremont County graduate (just down the hill at Wind River High School), returning to this community with my family is a significant part of my educational journey.
My educational background includes extensive teaching experience, as well as curricular work with different school systems both within and outside the Fremont County area. I continue to foster school-community relationships, including a robust partnership with the University of Wyoming, Wyo-Tech, our local community colleges, and many other industry partners. One of my greatest passions is developing curricular opportunities that connect students with learning experiences geared toward future careers, whether in college, workforce, or military service.
The last two decades of working in rural school systems have shown me the strengths of smaller educational environments. The story often overlooked is the vital role rural schools play in providing a dynamic and personalized educational experience. These schools not only contribute to the development of stronger communities but also foster a more vibrant state. Graduates from these systems often leave with more than just a diploma; they carry a commitment to give back to their communities. At Dubois K–12 School, my vision is to help students recognize the value of a rural education as they develop into the future leaders Wyoming and our Nation needs.
I look forward to joining the dynamic team at Dubois K–12 and continuing to create meaningful and impactful educational experiences. I am committed to helping our Dubois Rams develop into the critical thinkers and professionals needed in the future. I am honored to be part of the team and this amazing community.
Let’s go, Rams!
