School Overview
The Wyoming Boys School, located in Worland, is a state-operated residential facility under the jurisdiction of the Wyoming Department of Family Services. It functions as a secure, long-term correctional and treatment center for adjudicated male youth, typically ranging from ages 12 to 21. The institution is designed to provide a highly structured environment that combines intensive behavioral rehabilitation with academic education, aiming to address the underlying issues that led to the youths' involvement with the juvenile justice system.

The facility’s programming is comprehensive, focusing on cognitive-behavioral interventions, life skills development, and vocational training to help residents successfully reintegrate into their communities. Education is a cornerstone of the curriculum, with on-site schooling provided to ensure students continue their academic progress while in custody. By blending discipline with therapeutic support, the Wyoming Boys School seeks to reduce recidivism and equip these young men with the tools necessary to become productive, law-abiding citizens upon their release.
