Wind River Mountains, Wyoming


This is a shot of my two Snow College students and me on a 70-mile backpacking trip in the Wind River Mountains this past summer. The tallest mountain in Wyoming, Gannett Peak, can be seen on the skyline behind us and a little to the left. (I climbed it a few years ago.) We had a fabulous time!

Snow College Students Score High

The CAAP test results are in: Once again, the average Snow College Student starts college with a score below average on the math portion of the ACT and finishes college well above average on the math portion of the CAAP test. The same is true for the other two "R"s--reading and writing. Snow College is a great place to get a quality education.

Back in School

We are back in school this fall with close to 20% increase in students over last fall--despite the fact that our state budget has been cut 17%, due to the decline in state tax revenues.
