Vermont’s schools and community partners are showing what’s possible when we tackle student mental health and education affordability together. NKHS and the St. Johnsbury School District launched a pilot program — Catamount Community Connections — that keeps students close to home, boosts outcomes, and saves taxpayer dollars by blending education with trauma-informed mental health care.

Read how collaboration could help two of Vermont’s biggest challenges: rising special-education costs and the growing need for mental health support in schools.
