Student Assistance Program (SAP)

The Student Assistance Program (SAP) identifies students experiencing problems with school success, through anonymous referral by staff, parents, peers, community members, or by self-referral.

Support groups that meet on campus during school hours include: Anger Management, Stress Managament, Conflict Resolution, Tobacco Cessation, Drug and Alcohol Abuse, Recovery Group (Clean and Sober for over 30 days), Teen Relationships, and 7 Habits of Highly Successful Teens.
