At South High, we have social workers serving all of our students and families. Please contact your social worker about social, emotional, behavioral or mental health concerns; basic needs; attendance and truancy concerns; crisis support; or other questions that may arise, especially regarding concerns that impact a student's success.

Social workers support student learning by:

• helping students and families problem solve around personal and family concerns
• facilitating mental health support at school
• attendance and truancy intervention, monitoring and support
• advocating for students and families in crisis
• recommending and connecting students to a variety of community resources 
• communicating with school staff, community providers and families
• facilitating various support groups
• supporting homeless and highly mobile students and families
• supporting Special Education students
• supporting pregnant and parenting students
