  • Leadership Opportunities at Sage Hill

    Sage Hill School takes great pride in providing a strong mix of student leadership positions on our campus and expects a high level of commitment from all appointed student leaders.

    All Sage Hill School students who hold a leadership position are expected to adhere to the highest standards of our Honor Code and Core Values whether on or off campus. 

    Aside from the traditional leadership roles listed below, there are many other opportunities for students to distinguish themselves as leaders. Participation in Academic Teams, clubs, athletic teams, performing arts and other co-curricular activities can and do help our students build leadership skills that last a lifetime. 

    We expect all students to be leaders at Sage Hill School, whether they have a title or not. When students lead, they are fully living and embracing the mission of the School.

  • Honor Committee

    Honor Committee members are selected through an application process. The Honor Committee hears cases of possible violation of Sage Hill's Honor Code and makes recommendations for disciplinary action to the Dean of School Life and the Head of School. 
  • Lightning Links

    The Lightning Links Program is a cross-divisional initiative that connects Middle and Upper School students in one-to-one pairings while serving as an intentional commitment to uphold Sage Hill School’s values. As students enter 7th grade, they will be paired with an 11th grade student for the next two years, allowing their relationship to grow over time with consistency and purpose. Students joining our community in 8th grade will be paired with a 12th grade student and will be supported in creating a meaningful yearlong connection.

    Meeting once a month during Advisory, students will focus on relevant conversations, shared experiences/learning, building relationships and strengthening our expanding community, ensuring that every student feels known and supported. Middle school students will learn from their older peers’ educational experience, while Upper School students have the opportunity to practice and demonstrate being a good role model and leadership skills.
  • Peer Counselors

Throughout the year, students in S.A.M.E. attend diversity trainings, lead open discussions on current events, oversee workshops in the annual Multicultural Symposium, and celebrate the different cultures and identities found at Sage Hill.
