BIG SKY – Seven young men graduated from Lone Peak High School on June 2. This crew, nicknamed the Brotherhood, was the third-ever graduating class from LPHS.
Approximately 175 people attended the ceremony, which took place on a stage in the school’s new gym. The school board trustees sat on stage, and the school’s staff marched in to the tune of “Pomp and Circumstance,” wearing robes and hoods denoting their college colors and degrees. The seven graduates walked in last.
Guest speakers included two students and two staff members, plus keynote speaker Martha Johnson. The students picked Johnson to speak, something she said was a great honor.
A real estate agent and long time resident of Big Sky, Johnson had worked with the graduates for several years through the Warren Miller Freedom Foundation. Through that entrepreneurial program, Johnson helped teach them how to earn a living with what they have.
“I’ve been an entrepreneur in this town for 24 years. I never expected anything back. [But this] was one of those things you do in your life where you leave wanting more. It recharged my soul.”
In her speech, Johnson encouraged the graduates to be kind, thoughtful, have gratitude, perseverance and honor. “Remember, your honor is not necessarily established when everyone is watching – it’s about your actions when no one is watching that truly defines your character.
She also told them “Big Sky will always be part of your foundation and there are a lot of people here cheering for you—it’s the beauty of a small town—you will never be anonymous here.” The graduates, Johnson noted, were themselves passionate about Big Sky.
Johnson also brought Big Sky Resort general manager Taylor Middleton onto the stage to announce a new LPHS tradition: The resort will put up a stainless steel plaque at the tram station atop Lone Mountain with the names of the graduates. It will also add plaques for the last two graduating classes.
Expectations of LPHS students are high for both academics and behavior, said school superintendent Jerry House. “They wanted to recognize that.”

Feeling worn out from the winter? Feeling bloated, low energy or foggy in the mind? Maybe it’s just time to have a reset and boost your immune system!
It’s that time of year again, to refresh, renew and revitalize!
The community cleanse utilizes the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda in order to help detoxify the body and reboot the digestive system, plus going through the process with a community of others makes it all that much easier to get through it successfully. It is not a time of starvation or deprivation, we eat 3 (or 4) meals each day and take specific herbs to assist the process of releasing toxins. It is designed to be a two-week cleanse, but it can be customized to the length of time that you are able to commit to and dates can be flexible if need be. You are also welcome to do it from a distance if you won’t be in Big Sky this spring!
What it includes: digestive herbal supplement and body oil (specific to your needs), 4 cleansing and rejuvenating herbal formulas, 7 days of the Ayurvedic cleansing food, a booklet of information on the step-by-step process and some recipes, weekly meetings and daily email support through the process.
