"The Ascent program at Glacier High School has been an absolute must have. It serves those at-risk students that data has shown would most likely have dropped out without this program. The Ascent program not only serves those at-risk students but is reaching out to the general population to serve the schoolwide needs. Kids at GHS need this program. "
