The Student Ambassador Program is open to all Grades 5-8 at High Mountain School. A Student Ambassador is someone that will represent our school positively and help contribute towards building a strong sense of community within our school. Student Ambassadors are required to welcome new students to High Mountain School through tours, shadowing, and personal introductions to peers and teachers. Student Ambassadors will also be trained in conflict resolution and will assist peers in resolving low level disagreements.
