Celebrating important milestones gives an organization the rare opportunity to reflect on past achievements and inspires movement toward even greater success in the future.  The Alpine Academy team is proud of the substantial positive impact they have made with the nearly 1,000 youth and families served over the last twenty years at the Mountain View Campus and during the last eighteen months at their new Lakeview Campus. 

The Alpine team is taking a moment to reflect and celebrate the remarkable achievements of their staff, students, and families over the last two decades.  They invite you to celebrate with them as they look back on the success of the past and move forward toward a future of growth as an organization that provides innovative, evidence-based, trauma-informed treatment for its clients.

Alpine Academy’s focus on achieving its mission of “healing and elevating lives using proven family solutions” has renewed energy in 2022 in the following ways:”

• Continuing its academic commitment of service to its learners. In 2021, was recognized as being a School of Distinction and places them in the Top 1% of Cognia-accredited schools. 
• Opening the new, state-of-the-art school on the Lakeview Campus and adding an additional home to increase capacity.
• Expanding their human resource department for additional training and hiring needs.
• Creating greater accountability and personal responsibility in providing treatment to students and families by adopting this year’s theme of, “I Am Alpine”. A 2-day summit for all employees was held at the end of 2021 to support staff in implementing best practices that led to greater communication and process improvements in several treatment areas.

Christian Egan, Alpine Academy Director, reflected on this significant milestone: “For us who work here, and especially those of us who have for many years now, the most meaningful thing about reaching 20 years are the memories of youth who have been positively impacted and who now live healthier, happier lives as adults. Truly they have impacted our lives for the better as well. We are thankful for the many incredible people who have been our partners and have worked alongside us, both inside and outside of our organization throughout these years. Our ability to influence these young lives is a factor of the passion, talents, skills, and dedication of devoted individuals doing extraordinary work. Thank you!”

A lot has changed since Alpine Academy opened its doors for business in 2002. One thing that has remained the same is how the Alpine Academy team cares for the youth and families they serve. They look forward to continuing the mission of “healing and elevating lives” for many years to come.
