Advisory Reading
Advisory Reading is a program available to Mountain High students where they are able to earn an additional 1/8 elective credit outside of school hours. To earn this credit students first read a book from the list of advisory books. These books are chosen for this list because they show examples of people, real or fictional, who have faced challenges, overcome hardship or demonstrated characteristics of resilience, courage or personal strength. After reading the book, students write a 1-2 page essay based on the writing prompt. This essay is submitted to Cheryl in the library to be reviewed.

Library Advisory Committee
The Mountain High Advisory Committee is a group composed of a diverse students, school faculty and parents who serve as both the Advisory and Collection Evaluation Committee for the school. These are committees that are in place in every school library to address issues of challenged library materials, should that arise, and to recommend titles to add to the library collection.
We meet in the fall as a group and then on an as needed or as desired basis. Each student member of the committee reads and recommends a minimum of one book during their term on the committee.
