It is the Goal of Carbon County School District 2, to increase the number of concurrent courses available to students. BOCES is seeking teachers interested in becoming endorsed to teach college level courses. We are seeking teachers for core areas such as Math, Science, and Language arts, as well as career and technical courses.
