High Country Student Mission and Chant!
At High Country we want our students to know and live our mission, just like our families and staff do. In order to make this happen, we have designed a kid friendly mission statement and a chant that represent our focus and values as a campus. We will say our mission statement each day on the announcements and close with our High Country chant.
Student Friendly Mission Statement:
As High Country Cougars, we will reach our goals by being respectful and responsible, working together, and challenging ourselves to grow every day.
Mission Chant:
We're High Country Cougars
And we're ready to grow!
With respect and team work
We'll reach our goals!
