Help every High Peaks student thrive

At High Peaks, the Giving Tree helps fund caring paraeducators, engaging classroom projects, enrichment programs, technology, and other resources that help students learn and thrive.

High Peaks stands out across the district for the additional classroom support we provide. Historically, about 63% of Giving Tree funds have supported paraeducator salaries. These educators support students in K–5 classrooms every day, working with individual and small groups, provide academic and engagement support, and help teachers meet the needs of every learner. More caring adults means more individualized attention for students and more support for teachers. Your contribution helps ensure we can continue to have that support, along with the programs that make High Peaks special.

Please consider donating and sharing the fundraiser with grandparents, family, and friends who care about our school community.
