Reviewing the Cowboy Code of Ethics

Wyoming Department of Education > Superintendent's Update > Reviewing the Cowboy Code of Ethics

Dear Superintendents,

It’s been an inspiring week. I attended the Wyoming Association of Career and Technical Educators (WACTE) conference and the Wyoming Custodians Association conference. If ever there were a time to reflect on the Cowboy Code of Ethics, it is now. Wyoming educators, students, and families have ridden for the brand like never before over the last eighteen months and exemplify all that makes Wyoming, well, Wyoming. I will be sharing the stories of hope, perseverance, hard work, passion, and leadership across the state and nation.
