Student Support Services

The Student Support Services team is a school support program focused on improving student engagement by fostering students’ academic, social, behavioral, and emotional skills through relationship-based interventions developed in tandem with students, learning coaches, Advisors, Counselors and teachers.

"According to the Search Institute’s comprehensive body of social science research, connections that they dub “developmental relationships” are core to healthy development... With greater access to such connections, students show higher levels of engagement, attain better grades, report higher aspirations, and participate more frequently in college-preparatory activities. And although a single, strong, positive relationship can deliver on these benefits, the benefits increase the more developmental relationships at a students’ disposal."

The Student Support Services Team will provide holistic student support through a Student-Centered Approach, Universal Supports, and a Streamlined process. Our mission is for all students to make one year of academic growth and together, as a team we all need to FIND A WAY for our students to have this success.

We’ve got Spirit! How ‘bout YOU!! Join in on the first Spirit Week of the year starting on Monday, October 12th and running through Friday October 16th. October is National Bullying prevention month so students and staff will be dressing up to help call attention to this problem many students experience.
