Students: talk to someone you trust. A parent or guardian, a teacher, a coach or any member of our faculty and staff will listen and help you find support. If you are worried about a friend, telling a trusted adult is an act of care, not a betrayal.
Families: if you have concerns about your child’s wellbeing, please contact your division head or call our main office at 704.895.8653. We will work with you to connect your child with the right support.
