Alumni

Eagle Rock School alumni are a unique group of individuals who, at some point in their life, decided that our small community in Estes Park was an opportunity to transform their life and purpose. They reside, work and play all around the United States and beyond, bringing 8+5=10 values into existence well after their time at Eagle Rock is over.

When we think about alumni, our definition is inclusive. Some students have come to Eagle Rock for only a trimester, but their experience was just what they needed at just the right time in their life. Some students have joined our community, continued for some time, and gone on to complete their high school diploma at their home school. Eagle Rock presented an opportunity for those individuals to gain valuable perspective, experience and learning that propelled them toward their high school diploma. Some students come to Eagle Rock and graduate.

Our graduates fully embody our values, represent a significant, lifelong, commitment to what Eagle Rock is all about, and are a special part of our alumni community.

Transcripts & Diplomas

Eagle Rock School & Professional Development Center abides by the regulations set forth in the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). As a result, alumni, schools and other organizations seeking student records must submit a formal request to access the existing records on file. This includes the submission of school documents such as transcripts to individuals who attended Eagle Rock, or to organizations seeking these documents. All transcript requests must be directly from the student of record or authorized by the student of record.

If you are seeking an official transcript, please remember that this document must be either (a) transmitted directly from Eagle Rock to a specific institution (e.g. college) or individual (e.g. employer) or (b) transmitted to the requesting individual in a signed, sealed envelope. Once the requesting individual is in possession of this official document, it may be used in official capacity as long as the signature and seal remain intact. Once the signature and seal are broken (e.g. the envelope is opened), the document becomes unofficial.

Requests for Eagle Rock School transcripts should be made by filling out this request form.

Further questions about transcripts can be sent via email to transcripts@eaglerockschool.org.

Alumni Spotlight

Name: Taileigh

Home State: Massachusetts

Taileigh started her Eagle Rock career with a strong interest in helping others. This was initially in the healthcare field with some thoughts about teaching. As she uncovered more interests and skill sets in Eagle Rock classes, Taileigh found a passion for social justice work and writing. She took on leadership as a Lead Student Ambassador, in her residential house, and within Eagle Rock’s LGBTQIA+ community. These experiences further expanded Taileigh’s thoughts of how she might help others in her future work.

Name: Angel

Home State: California

Angel’s life after graduation plans started with his first wilderness trip. As he completed the final run-in, he knew he wanted to spend as much time outdoors as possible. During his Eagle Rock career, Angel spent more than 150 days in the wilderness as a participant, student instructor, and staff member. This includes an epic 30-day course in the Waddington mountain range with the National Outdoor Leadership School (NOLS), largely considered to be one of the most challenging outdoor courses available.

Postsecondary Plans: Wilderness instructor at a camp and continued NOLS instructor training.

Name: Cody

Home State: Texas

Cody came to Eagle Rock with some deep skepticism around attending college. Yet as he learned in classes, and uncovered a strong interest in health, wellness, athletics, and exercise, he realized that the health sciences would be the right path for his future. Cody furthered this interest by revamping Eagle Rock’s Workout Warrior program, creating a platform that was more inclusive, clear, and supportive of a wide range of workout opportunities for students. He plans to continue to connect with others around their exercise and health goals in the future.

Postsecondary Plans: Colorado State University with a major in exercise science.
