We understand that sometimes life can be overwhelming and it can be hard to work through difficult times. That's why the Student Support Services team provides support and guidance to our students who are experiencing challenges that are impacting them at school.

Student Support Services provides a number of free and confidential services and supports to the school community. Student Support Services personnel encompass many aspects of the high school environment including Social Workers, Student Prevention/ Intervention Specialist, Behavior Intervention Specialist, Student Liaisons, Nurse and Community Liaisons.
We value our relationship with each of you and want to thank you for placing your trust in our team. To schedule an appointment, go to the "Meet the Team" page and select the person you would like to see.
