Our Student Services division includes our counselors, deans, and social workers. Each student has an assigned counselor, who is part of a Pupil Support Services team, or PSS for short. The primary goal of the PSS team is to help students succeed in school academically, socially, emotionally, and behaviorally. Each PSS team includes the following:

  • Three counselors: Address the academic, career, and social-emotional needs of students. 
  • Dean of students: Works with the student's family, counselor, teachers, and support personnel to assist students with behavioral issues, student conflicts, and any other issues that may interfere with the student's safety and success.
  • School social worker: Provides individual student counseling on a short-term basis and facilitates student support groups.
