Student Support Team and Deans

The Student Support Team works closely with students, families, and faculty to support students in their personal and academic development. Student Support is responsible for assisting in the administration of the following school-wide functions: daily attendance, student discipline, student support services, and school safety.

SCHOOL Counseling

Students meet with their school counselor, previously known as guidance counselor, for a variety of reasons, including but not limited to issues such as high school transition, academic support, peer/relationship concerns, and college advising. Students are also provided with referrals to outside resources such as enrichment programs, employment opportunities, mental health services, and more.

College Counseling

College readiness workshops are provided beginning in the 9th grade for all students. When students enter the 11th grade, they increase the focus on college exploration process. All 11th and 12th graders participate in College Advisory workshops that prepare them for the admissions process during the fall of their senior year.
