Rangely School District RE4

We’re excited to announce Clint Hill as the new Head Coach of the High School Boys Basketball Team! Clint served as the assistant coach last season and brings years of coaching experience, including time at the junior high level and with club teams. He’s no stranger to Panther athletics and is passionate about helping young athletes grow on and off the court. Clint and his wife Angie have called Rangely home for the past 14 years, raising two wonderful daughters who keep them busy with school and sports. In his free time, Clint enjoys golfing, mountain biking, hunting, fishing, and proudly cheering on his girls. When he’s not coaching, Clint works for Scout Energy as a lease operator in the Rangely field. “I’m excited to see what this group of boys can accomplish this season. They’re a great group — on and off the court — and I’m honored to lead them.” Please help us welcome Coach Hill to his new role and get ready for a great season ahead! . #rangelyschooldistrict #RangelyPanthers #RangelyColorado

Please join us in welcoming Teresa Gilbert as Administrative Assistant to the Superintendent. She has been a part of the Rangely community since 2019, having moved here with her family when her husband accepted a position with the county. Originally from Grand Junction, Teresa also spent many of her formative years in Phoenix, Arizona. Teresa brings a diverse professional background to the district, including experience as a radiologic technologist, medical assistant, children’s shelter caregiver, office manager in the oil and gas industry, and even a familiar face at Maverik. Most recently, she began working at the school’s front desk, where she quickly discovered a love for the school environment, especially the kids and the sense of community among staff. A proud mom of five children (ages 9 to 26), Teresa stays busy at work and at home. She enjoys reading, participating in a local book club, paddle boarding, and spending time with her many pets—including dogs, cats, guinea pigs, a turtle, and even a snake! A former foreign exchange student in Germany, she loves travel and dreams of visiting the beach or seeing the Northern Lights from a glass-roofed igloo. Teresa is most excited to grow professionally, take on new responsibilities, and contribute positively to the district in her new role. She values clear communication, being part of a team, and doing things right the first time. One of her favorite quotes is, "Happiness isn’t getting what you want, but wanting what you have." We’re thrilled to have Teresa on board! . #rangelyschooldistrict #RangelyPanthers #RangelyColorado

Kirstie is excited about the junior high cheerleading coach position and the opportunity to help young athletes grow in confidence, teamwork, and school spirit. “This age is such a pivotal time in their development, and I’m looking forward to being a positive role model—someone who encourages them both on and off the sidelines. I’m excited to create a fun, supportive environment where they can build strong fundamentals, lasting friendships, and a real sense of pride in themselves and their team.

If a book has been lost or damaged, you can either pay the replacement cost or provide another copy in good condition—it doesn’t have to be brand new. Questions?

This week, seventh-grade students took an exciting interdisciplinary trip to Moab, Utah, combining physical education and science learning. They hiked through Grandstaff Canyon to see the stunning Rainbow Bridge and made their way to the iconic Corona Arch—all while putting their Leave No Trace principles into practice. As part of their science studies on ecosystems, this adventure gave students a hands-on opportunity to observe and explore the natural world in a truly unforgettable setting.

Parkview students made a difference this April! Throughout the month, students collected coins to support our sister school in Ghana, helping provide much-needed resources for both students and teachers. We’re excited to share that a total of $346.51 was raised! A heartfelt thank-you to everyone who contributed—your generosity is making a global impact.
