ROCK SPRINGS – Sweetwater County School District No. 1’s superintendent will retire July 1, 2024. An email sent via the district’s ParentSquare service contained a letter Superintendent Kelly McGovern will submit to the district’s board of trustees Nov. 13 agenda.

“It has been a privilege and honor to work for Sweetwater County School District Number One since August 1991,” McGovern wrote in her letter.

McGovern has been the superintendent for the past 10 years, having worked her way through the ranks from being a math teacher at Rock Springs High School.
