Killington Mountain School Welcomes Zachary Graham as Director of Admissions

Killington Mountain School (KMS) is pleased to welcome Zachary Graham as its new Director of Admissions.

Graham brings more than 15 years of experience in sales, partnerships, and business development, along with a deep understanding of the competitive mountain sport community and a passion for helping young athletes find the right environment to grow academically, athletically, and as people.

"Zach's combination of professional expertise and authentic connection to competitive sport makes him an outstanding addition to KMS," said Claire Butler, Head of School. "He understands who we are, the families and students we serve, and the transformational impact that a school like KMS can have on a young athlete's life. I am excited to welcome him to our leadership team."

Graham is a avid skier, studied coach, and athlete advocate.

Prior to joining KMS, Graham drove partner strategy at an insurtech company, where he led strategic partnerships and business development initiatives. Earlier in his career, he worked in business development for a global travel risk management company, building partnerships within the adventure and luxury travel industries. He currently serves as an alumni in admissions representative at his alma mater, St. Lawrence University, and throughout his career, has developed expertise in relationship management, strategic growth, and guiding families and clients through complex and meaningful decisions.

Graham's connection to KMS extends well beyond his professional experience. For years, he has recommended KMS programs to athletes and families, supported BOOST camps, and volunteered with the school's on-hill crew during the Killington World Cup. A lifelong member of the ski racing community, Graham has been part of the Mt. Sunapee competition program since 1993, first as an athlete and, since 2010, as a coach. He holds a U.S. Ski & Snowboard Level 200 Alpine Coach certification and is a Level 2 Referee, bringing extensive knowledge of athlete development and the unique needs of competitive ski families. Graham earned a Bachelor of Science in Economics and Mathematics from St. Lawrence University. Outside of work, he enjoys skiing with his wife and young son.

"I've admired KMS for many years and have seen firsthand the positive impact it has on student-athletes," said Graham. "I'm honored to join a community that is so deeply committed to developing the whole person, and I look forward to helping more families and motivated athletes discover everything KMS has to offer."

As Director of Admissions, Graham will lead KMS' enrollment efforts, working closely with prospective families and students to help them discover the opportunities available through the school's world class academic and competitive mountain sport programs. His leadership will support KMS' continued commitment to enrolling motivated student-athletes who are eager to pursue excellence in the classroom, in competition, and as members of a vibrant school community.
