Guidance/Wellness

Wellness at Highland School is supported by professional educators who understand and respond to the challenges and varied needs presented by our diverse student population. These educators do not work in isolation; rather they are integrated throughout the educational program, PK 3/4-Grade 12. We believe in proactive leadership programs and services to help the student achieve success academically, socially, and emotionally. Wellness programs align and work with the School's mission to support the whole student as he or she prepares for our ever-changing world. Students connect with teachers in their day to day lives on a range of topics or concerns. Teachers serve as mentors, advocates, and confidants to students. Guidance Counselors encourage students to speak with them one on one about issues that may be more personal in nature regarding academics, social, and transitional issues influencing their experience. Guidance Counselors collaborate closely with all individuals to create a network of support which fosters greater understanding and nurturing of the complete student we seek to prepare for the next phases of his/her life.
