By Arcadia Unified Digital Communications Intern Leila Nunez While many school districts have one counselor who is shared by multiple schools, the Arcadia Unified School District has made educating the “whole child” a priority and has taken action over the past few years to secure at least one full-time counselor at each of its schools. Building on its efforts, Arcadia Unified has added a full-time social and emotional learning counselor, Dr. Deja Anderson, to oversee Arcadia High School’s new Wellness Center and provide dedicated mental health and wellness support for the students and staff of Arcadia High.
Virtually unveiled at the start of the 2020-21 school year, Arcadia High’s online Wellness Center is a place where students, parents, and staff can go when they need additional mental health support or if they want to be proactive with learning about and maintaining their mental well-being. |
DCI Interns on the news writing team publish articles that are often published on local newspapers, such as Arcadia Patch and the Arcadia Weekly. The articles, ranging in subject, dive into the AUSD world and cover events, opportunities, news, and first-hand accounts of unique stories in the community.
