Positive Behavioral Support Program
Mountain Range is a positive behavioral support (PBS) program that focuses on reinforcing positive behavior and encouraging the building of community through positive school-wide behavior expectations.
MRHS is the standard by which rules and behavior expectations are derived.
When students exercise these traits, they may be recognized for doing so and rewarded as a result. These “caught in the moment” behaviors may result in receiving monetary rewards through the school store, opportunities for raffle prizes, or other recognitions.
The program emphasizes the teaching of these behaviors and uses data and student feedback to both identify and address school-wide behavioral issues.
By clearly defining expectations through education and enforcement, Mountain Range is able to create an educational community that is Mature, Respectful, Honest and a Safe place for all students.
MRHS Staff & Students are:
