About Us
Ms. Young
Student Wellness Specialist
Hi Scorps! This is Ms. Young from the Wellness Center. I am excited for the opportunity to support students academically and emotionally. My goal for each student is to learn how to advocate for themselves, problem solve difficult situations, develop healthy coping skills and become a leader. The primary goal of the Wellness center is to provide a Safe Space for you to express, share, emote your feelings and/or concerns.
Mr. Perez

Hello everyone, my name is Alex Perez, I am a Student Wellness Specialist in the Oasis Wellness Center at ACHS. I enjoy supporting students in the Wellness Center utilizing various resources. I encourage students to take advantage of the services and resources on campus while they are a student here at ACHS. I have been a lifelong Ventura County resident. Other than being at ACHS, I enjoy taking my husky "Wolfie" for walks, riding my bicycle by the beach, and BBQing with friends and family. I am a big sports fan as my teams are the following : Steelers, Lakers, Dodgers, and USC football! Come say hello to Mr. Perez in the Oasis Wellness Center in room B6!
