Group counseling discussions exist to address themes of common concern to larger numbers of High School Students. Group sessions meet during the school day, rotating through breaks and blocks so that no single class is missed more than once. Individual counseling is available for all students throughout the year; students are encouraged to use this counseling service for academic and personal concerns. You may make appointments directly with a Counselor via email, either with Sara McMickle,  Lina Paumgarten or Peter Loy.

The Learning Skills Class (LSC) is available to students who are experiencing difficulties in mainstream classes. The Learning Support teachers work with enrolled students to develop interventions, strategies, and modifications to help the students be more successful in their mainstream classes. Staff also consult and collaborate with regular classroom teachers about the goals established for the individual students.

For students enrolled in the program, the LSC is part of their regular schedule, meeting one or two blocks per rotation. The LSC is a non-graded class, and students who successfully participate in the program receive a Pass grade on their report card and 0.5 of an elective credit per semester. Students are enrolled in the class only at the recommendation of the SST.

The SST addresses issues with students who are in transition, are not performing academically, or are showing signs of social or emotional distress. The SST consists of a core group that includes the counselors, the Dean, the principal, the LS teachers, the nurse and a faculty representative. The make-up of the SST facilitates a holistic approach to helping the student. Members offer their expertise and devise an action plan that is regularly reviewed.
