Hot Springs County High School

What Hot Springs County High School does

Hot Springs County High School (HSCHS) is a public secondary school serving grades 9-12 in Thermopolis, Wyoming, operating as one of four schools within Hot Springs County School District #1 (alongside Pre-K Academy, Ralph Witters Elementary, and Thermopolis Middle School). The school's core offering is a comprehensive secondary education program that includes seven academic departments (Career/Technical Education, Fine Arts, Language Arts, Math, Physical Education/Health, Science, Social Studies), a competitive athletics program spanning nine sports plus speech and debate, fine arts (Art, Band, Choir, Drama, Yearbook), and the Thermopolis FFA agricultural education chapter. Administrative and academic technology is delivered through standard K-12 platforms: PowerSchool for student information and the parent portal, Edlio for website content management, Follett Destiny for the library catalog, and LINQ Connect (formerly Titan) for meal program administration, with single sign-on via Google and YouTube-embedded video content.

The school serves a captive, geographically defined customer base — students residing within the district's boundaries — and does not charge tuition for core academic instruction. Revenue is derived from a combination of state per-pupil funding, local property tax allocations, and federal education grants (Title I, IDEA, ARP), supplemented by ancillary fees for athletics, activities, equipment, and a school store. Distribution is direct on-campus instruction at the 231 Park Street / 415 Springview Street campus in Thermopolis, supported by district-provided bus transportation, an online parent portal, and community events such as Kinder Camp and the Rebel Triathlon. A notable service extension is the concurrent enrollment partnership with Central Wyoming College, allowing students to earn college credit in courses such as Math 1400 (College Algebra/Trigonometry) and Stats 2050.

Beginning in the 2025-2026 academic year, the district received Wyoming State Board of Education approval to transition to a 4-day school week, signaling an operational redesign intended to address teacher recruitment/retention and cost pressures common to small rural districts. Management is led by Principal Catelyn Deromedi (grades 9-12), supported by Athletic Director Brandon Deromedi, Counselor Elisa Daniels (currently completing a Master's in School Counseling), and a faculty of approximately two dozen teachers across academic and specialty areas. The school's competitive position rests on its status as the sole public high school in the district, deep community ties through FFA and athletics, and credentialed faculty including a Knowles Science Teaching Fellow and Google Certified Teacher — rather than any proprietary technology or differentiated product.
