Weston County School District

Weston County School District 7, operating as Upton Elementary School, is a local government educational entity located in Upton, Wyoming, serving the rural Weston County community. Registered in SAM.gov since 2010 and set to maintain its registration until August 2026, the school district primarily provides educational services to students in a sparsely populated county with approximately 6,838 residents. As a U.S. local government and school district, Weston County School District primarily engages with federal agencies through grant awards that support educational and community wellness initiatives.

The district has consistently received federal grant awards, most notably through the Small, Rural School Achievement Program administered by the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education. These annual formula grants have been consistently awarded from 2021 through 2025, supporting rural educational infrastructure and programming. Additionally, the district has received a significant project grant from the National Center for Injury Prevention and Control focusing on addressing underage drinking, youth tobacco, and marijuana use in Weston County. The district has also participated in sub-grant awards, including a 21st Century Community Learning Centers (21CCLC) grant through the Wyoming Department of Education and a CARES Act grant, demonstrating its ability to collaborate with state education agencies and leverage federal funding to support local educational and community wellness initiatives. These grants reflect the district's commitment to comprehensive educational support and community health programming in a rural Wyoming context.
