Many of our Mustang family members have been impacted by the tragic events in Israel and Gaza.  Our Pearce Counseling Team is here to support our students and staff.  This is a very scary and emotional time especially for those with family and connections to Israel, Gaza and the middle east.  We want all our Mustangs to have the support they need. As a parent or trusted adult, please feel free to reach out to your student’s counselor or fill out this google form Request to speak to a counselor on behalf of your student and we will follow up with them.

Many of our Mustang family members are mourning the loss of their classmate.  Our Pearce Counseling Team is here to support our students and staff as well moving forward.  As a parent or trusted adult, please feel free to reach out to your student’s counselor or fill out this google form Request to speak to a counselor on behalf of your student and we will follow up with them.  We know that teenagers prefer to lean on their peers for support, but grief is tricky and we don’t want our parents, students or staff members to feel like they are walking this journey alone.
