Hot Springs County School District is looking to display its schools' trophies in a unique way. The Thermopolis Independent-Record reports the district is running out of physical space to display the trophies, and only those with access to the schools can view them. So, they're working to secure an online platform to showcase them. Physical copies will still be available at the schools, but the online platform will remove the restriction of physical space and allow the district to honor students in other ways.
