History

Steamboat Mountain School was founded in 1957 as a boarding and day high school. It was originally named Lowell Whiteman School after its founder, a local entrepreneur and adventurer, but was renamed in 2014 to emphasize its mountain ethic.[2]

Lowell Whiteman Primary School, with the same namesake, was founded in 1993, and was renamed Emerald Mountain School in 2014.[2] The primary school was modeled after Lowell Whiteman School but was a separate entity.[3] The two schools announced a merger in 2020. The merger took place on 1 January 2021; however, the school continues to operate the two campuses.[2][3]
