3. We believe that every student has a right to a safe, supportive, learning environment.
4. We believe that it is the schools responsibility to provide meaningful learning opportunities that actively engage all students.
5. We believe that students should be taught to accept responsibility for their work and accountability for their actions.  

Life Counselor Program

The role of the LIFE counselor is to lead individuals and foster empowerment with our students.  LIFE counselors demonstrate the ability to establish productive relationships with students, parents, staff, and community members.  Counselors provide individual and group counseling to students. They also provide education on approved mental health, trauma, and substance topics to our students, staff, and parents.  LIFE counselors focus on prevention and intervention to promote academic, personal growth, and well-being.  If you would like your student to see our LIFE counselor, please see the contact information to the right.
