District School Psychologist

Hello, my name is David Duncan and I am the School Psychologist for HSCSD#1. I was raised in Worland, and I have fond memories of playing sports against Thermopolis since my days in Middle School. I graduated with my Master's Degree in School Counseling and School Psychology from BYU in 2004 and went on to get my Educational Specialist degree from BYU in 2005. After working as both a school counselor and school psychologist in a dual role in the Salt Lake City area for a few years, in 2006 we moved here to Thermopolis to be back in the Big Horn Basin and the small-town atmosphere that my wife and I love so much.

My wife and I have 2 daughters. We love to go camping and fishing and spend time as a family. I also enjoy hunting and flying model airplanes.
