Steamboat Mountain School

Steamboat Mountain School was founded in 1957 as a boarding and day high school. It was originally named Lowell Whiteman School after its founder, a local entrepreneur and adventurer, but was renamed in 2014 to emphasize its mountain ethic. Lowell Whiteman Primary School, with the same namesake, was founded in 1993, and was renamed Emerald Mountain School in 2014. The two schools announced a merger in 2020. The merger took place on 1 January 2021; however, the school continues to operate the two campuses. ==Notable alumni==
