WYOMING SCHOOLS NAMED AS TOP HIGH SCHOOLS IN NATION
U.S. News and World Report analyzed 21,786 public high schools in 48 states plus the District of Columbia to name the nation’s top high schools. One hundred schools received gold medals, 461 received silver medals, 1,189 received bronze medals, and 37 received honorable mentions. Silver medal Sheridan High School in Sheridan County School District No. 2 was named Wyoming’s only silver medalist. Bronze medal winners in Wyoming are: Big Horn High School in Sheridan County School District No. 1, Burlington High School in Big Horn County School District No. 1, Hulett High School in Crook County School District No. 1, Lingle-Fort Laramie High School and Southeast High School in Goshen County School District No. 1, Powell High School in Park County School District No. 1, and Star Valley High School in Lincoln County School District No. 2. According to U.S. News, rankings are based on “the key principles that a great high school must serve all its students well, not just those who are college-bound, and that it must be able to produce measurable academic outcomes to show the school is successfully educating its student body across a range of performance indicators.”

Just to let you know the district has many students and staff who are home and not feeling well. In visiting with our school nurse Dave Dunn he points to two common illness that are going around: stomach virus, and influenza. In all cases please take the following steps:
1. Stay home 24 hours after the fever breaks.
2. Wash hands with soap and water often.
3. Get a lot of rest.
I know that we teach our children to share, but this is one time not to follow that rule.

Due to the excess in the bond fund that was used to build Star Valley High School, SVHS’s construction class will be building long-awaited restrooms and a storage facility on the southwest side of the sports complex. Plans are being drawn up by the districts’ architect and the class will go to work on building the facility first thing this school year. The project will be completed for the 2010 football season.
I have also had many people ask about the use of the track and the field. We are certainly not opposed to the facility being used for it’s intended purpose. It’s our intention and desire to make the facility available to the public. We are working to install a gate system that allows people in but not their bicycles. We are looking to put a lock system on that would allow it to be unlocked from early morning to evening, being locked during the night.
Please feel free to share your thoughts, ideas, or concerns.
