📰 News we're reading
• PHS swim finished eighth (powelltribune.com) — Autumn Kleinfeldt earned third in diving to lead Powell High School's swim and dive team to eighth at the 3A state championships in Gillette. With only one senior on the state team, coach Bailey Jackson sees room to climb next year, after the Panthers finished just 20 points behind sixth-place Lyman. 
• Park County schools continue to strive for academic excellence (powelltribune.com) — Powell students remain well above Wyoming averages on state assessments, but the latest results show uneven progress. Math proficiency rose while English and science declined, and Powell Middle School only partially met accountability expectations. Superintendent Jay Curtis says schools use the results to guide improvement without letting one test define students' work.
