Note from TMHS Counselors

During the week of February 17-20th, the counseling department and San Miguel Resource Center are holding Teenage Love and Consent (TLC) Week at the high school. TLC Week is a student-initiated program that focuses on fostering healthy relationships and navigating consent.  We are hoping TLC Week builds protective factors in the form of respecting words and bodies. Liza with the San Miguel Resource Center will be giving age-appropriate lessons in all grade levels 9-12th throughout the week. We have been implementing these lessons through TLC week for many years now and we find that it, not only, gives the students valuable information about relationships but also allows them the opportunity to participate in discussions and ask questions in a comfortable, safe learning environment.  Yes, let’s just add a sentence:
If you would like to opt your child out of this programming please email skimble@telluride.k12.co.us

Town Wants to Hear From You

  • Do you feel safe walking, biking, driving, or rolling around Telluride and Mountain Village?

  • Have you experienced a close call on the road? Tell us what happened.
Your local knowledge and experiences are essential in shaping and prioritizing transportation projects. Share feedback at the link below. Use the map to drop a pin where you feel unsafe or where a small change could make a big difference—such as crossings, lighting, speed management, congestion, parking issues, snow/ice operations, or wayfinding. Share what you experience during peak seasons and along school or commute routes and sign up for updates as draft concepts and potential projects are posted.

Quality of Life Survey

As we look ahead to 2026, we invite community members to participate in the Quality of Life Survey - Tri County Health Network. This community-wide mental health survey is a collaborative effort shared by Tri-County Health Network, the Katz Amsterdam Foundation, and other local partners. The confidential survey takes about 10 minutes to complete and is open to anyone 18 or older. It is available in both English and Spanish, and responses will help guide the future of mental health services across our West Mountain Region.
We encourage you to complete the survey as soon as possible and to share it with local friends, family, and neighbors. Your participation is essential to helping us reach our goal of 700 responses. The survey closes on February 7.
