Dvorak, Joel

I began my career in 1980, teaching science and math. Over the next decade, I worked in Minnesota, North Dakota, and Wyoming. In 1991, I became assistant principal in Ranchester, Wyo. Later I went on to serve as principal of Big Horn Junior/Senior High and then as a principal in the Johnson County, WY School District. In 2000, I was promoted to assistant superintendent in Johnson County, and in 2003, I joined the Natrona County School District as associate superintendent of curriculum and instruction. I have a master's degree and educational doctorate from the University of Wyoming. My wife, Becky, and I have two daughters.
