The youth of today are tomorrow’s leaders. Youth who are confident in their ability to succeed and willing and able to push beyond obstacles in order to do so, will more readily step into leadership positions as adults.

Mountain Alliance is a community of individuals committed to providing Watauga County high school aged youth with opportunities to explore and develop their leadership potential through experiential learning. We work closely with Watauga High School to connect students with a support structure and caring community during their most formative years and to provide positive opportunities outside of school.

Started in 1990 as a nonprofit organization at Watauga High School. We strive to empower students of all socioeconomic and cultural backgrounds to be actively engaged in their learning experiences and to succeed in the academic environment.

Our organization is supported by the High Country United Way, Town of Boone, Watauga County, Watauga County Schools and many generous and community-minded individuals and businesses.
