PEAK PATHWAYS PRIZE
Peak Pathways is a “Rites of Passage” program in which our learners transition from completing their schoolwork to launching their life’s work. Due to the self-designed and self-directed nature of the program, students must learn to chart, navigate, and flourish on their unique path. Though several learners exemplified the spirit of the Peak Pathways program, the following student is being recognized for his exceptional ability to resource his dreams, exert his autonomy, and grow his sense of mastery. The first annual 11th grade Peak Pathways Prize is awarded to:
JONATHAN “JT” WINT
