Employment

Founded in 2007, the High School High Scholar Program, (HS)², at Colorado Rocky Mountain School (CRMS) is a free, three-summer program designed to prepare high-achieving, first-generation and/or low-income students for college success. With a strong emphasis on science, technology, engineering, mathematics (STEM), and college counseling, (HS)² empowers students with rigorous academic preparation, a supportive peer community, and the confidence to see the power in their own voices.

Each summer, (HS)² scholars live and learn on the CRMS campus in Carbondale, Colorado for five weeks. On weekdays, students participate in six hours of academic coursework. Afternoons are dedicated to the Active Program, which includes outdoor pursuits such as rock climbing, kayaking, and team sports, as well as creative offerings like silversmithing, ceramics, and music. Weekends invite exploration of the surrounding natural environment. Together, this combination of academics, experiential learning, and residential life fosters students’ intellectual, social, and emotional growth while building independence and responsibility.

Working at (HS)² is both intensive and deeply rewarding. Faculty and staff collaborate closely to support highly motivated students while living and working in a vibrant residential community. Housing, when needed, is provided in a faculty dormitory with shared bathroom facilities, and all meals are thoughtfully prepared by the CRMS kitchen. (HS)² is committed to fostering a welcoming, supportive, and inclusive community, and Colorado Rocky Mountain School is an equal opportunity employer.

The 2026 (HS)² program runs from June 22 to July 25, with faculty and RA/TAs arriving on campus between June 17–18 and departing between July 25–27. All positions for Summer 2026 are currently filled.
