Academic Support Counselor Karen Howell assists students with learning differences, working closely with parents, teachers, and academic advisors to make the Rowland Hall curriculum accessible. The counselor will recommend outside tutors whenever necessary. Additionally, teachers are available for consultation with their students during the school day.
The Upper School also has a writing center led by student volunteers and faculty sponsor Dr. Laura Johnson. The center provides free help at any stage of the writing process, on any assignment, for any class.
Social-Emotional Support Counselor Lauren Stivers assists students with social and/or emotional needs. Support may include brief one-on-one counseling, parent education, crisis management, and/or referrals for outside services. When extra support is indicated for a student, we develop and implement a support plan with the student, family, and the support team. The family may be asked to provide additional support services as needed to help the student achieve academic and social success at school.
