Supportive Leadership

Deans

There are many issues that affect the lives of our students, whether those issues are in school, with friends or at home. It is important that students have an outlet and feel comfortable talking to an adult about those issues. Our supportive staff of deans build relationships with every student to answer questions, support student initiatives and model appropriate choices that align with our school mission.

Dean of Students

The Dean of Students coordinates student clubs and activities, social events, field trips, and character education. Managing the School’s discipline system is just one aspect of that role. He/she also works closely with senior prefects and the Student Council in order to improve student leadership and citizenship skills and to gauge student needs.

While a student’s teacher, advisor, or class dean will likely be the first place to turn with a problem, the Dean of Students maintains an “open-door policy” and encourages individual students to approach him/her with suggestions or concerns.
