Overview of our Communities
SHS students are divided into four Communities designed to meet students’ academic and social needs through a comprehensive, collaborative team approach. Our school counseling staff is dedicated to practicing preventative, proactive counseling which includes discussing academic and adolescent issues, pre-college planning, career exploration, and post high school planning. Communication is key; we encourage family members to call their student's Community Team with questions.
