Who We Are

Peer Ambassadors are junior and senior students at Loveland High School who work alongside school counselors to provide support, resources, and mentorship to their fellow students.

💙 B.I.O.N.I.C. Team

Believe It Or Not I Care

The LHS Peer Ambassadors coordinate the B.I.O.N.I.C. Team, an outreach program designed to support students and staff who are experiencing challenging times. When someone in our school community is going through difficulty, the Peer Ambassadors reach out with care and compassion.

When We Reach Out

The B.I.O.N.I.C. Team provides support when a student or staff member experiences:

  • Hospitalization
  • An illness or health condition resulting in extended absences (more than a week)
  • A death in the family
  • A tragedy affecting the school community

How We Support

The Peer Ambassadors follow up on referrals by reaching out to the student, staff member, and/or family with a thoughtful card and small gift to show we care. These gestures remind our community members that they are not alone during difficult times.

Contact the counseling office or a Peer Ambassador adviser, and we'll follow up as soon as possible.
