Alumni Mentoring Students

As we strive to develop future leaders and prepare our students for lifelong learning, Highlanders Connect is an alumni volunteer mentoring program that aims to connect current students with successful alumni professionals to help them develop as future leaders and professionals.

Highlanders Connect offers several events throughout the school year.

Professional Development

Alumni volunteers will act as table hosts, greeting students and facilitating conversations during the networking event. A guest speaker will guide students through table discussion topics and professional etiquette techniques during a seated lunch. Twelfth-grade students will mix and mingle with LHP alums to practice networking skills.

Alumni Application

Career Day

Alumni volunteers will conduct mock interviews and resume writing workshops and review resume submissions from 11th-grade students as they prepare for Junior Job Shadows. Students will practice networking skills with alumni volunteers. Professional headshots will be taken free of charge for all students and alumni volunteers who attend this event.
