Wellness Center
Wellness Center
The new Student Wellness Center, located in Room 419, is now available as a supportive space for students who may be feeling overwhelmed during the school day. This calm and quiet environment is designed to give students an opportunity to take a short break. about 10 minutes, to regulate their emotions, reset, and return to class ready to learn.
The Wellness Center is not a place to miss class time unnecessarily, but rather a resource to help students manage stress in a healthy and productive way. If a student finds that they need additional support beyond a brief visit, they will be connected with their school counselor for further assistance.
We encourage all students to use this space responsibly as part of maintaining their overall well-being.
