College Counselor at; HS

About (HS)²

The High School High Scholar Program (HS)² is a five‑week, residential, STEM‑focused summer academic program at Colorado Rocky Mountain School designed to prepare high‑achieving, first‑generation and/or low‑income high school students for college success. Scholars live on campus, complete rigorous coursework, and develop the academic, social, and independent living skills needed to thrive in higher education.

The (HS)² College Counselor works with rising juniors and seniors during the five‑week residential summer program. Rising juniors meet every other day to explore best‑fit colleges and gain a broad understanding of the higher education landscape. Rising seniors focus more intensively on refining college lists, developing personal statements, learning about FAFSA and scholarship opportunities, and completing other essential components of the college application process.
