Student Support Services
At MGLVA, we want to make sure all of our students succeed. That is why we have a wonderful support team that helps with academic achievement and school engagement. The Student Support Services Team works with students and families to try and get students back on track in their academics, become more engaged in their learning, and motivate them to continue moving forward in school.
Student Support Advisors
All students in the High School have a Student Support Advisor. They are here to talk to students about their academic goals, where they want to go in the future, and how they can make improvements now. Advisors work with students to ensure they are engaged in school and getting back on track if they fall behind.
Here is the breakdown of our High School Student Support Advisors:
