ROCK SPRINGS — Rock Springs High School is facing a leadership change in its athletic department after Athletic Director/Assistant Principal Byron Bolen resigned less than halfway through his second year in the role. Sweetwater County School District No. 1 announced Bolen’s departure earlier today but did not provide specific details regarding the resignation.
Bolen, who took on the role in 2023, oversaw the school’s athletic programs during a time of growth and competitive development. His resignation leaves a key leadership position vacant as the school navigates its current athletic seasons and prepares for upcoming challenges.
