Polaris Peer Leaders

Mission

Inspired by Polaris, the North Star, the student-led Polaris Peer Leader Program empowers underclassmen to navigate high school with confidence, purpose, and belonging. Through authentic relationships, personal mentorship, supportive learning environments, and shared experiences, we foster leadership, resilience, and a culture of excellence. Our mission is to guide, uplift, and connect students—equipping them with the tools to succeed both in and beyond the classroom.

Vision

We envision a school community where every student feels seen, supported, and empowered to grow—academically, socially, and emotionally. Through inclusive practices, peer mentorship, and a legacy of student-led leadership, we aim to cultivate a lasting culture of encouragement, compassion, and active contribution. Polaris strives to ensure every student is not only prepared for success at GSMST, but for life beyond it.
