In-School Support
Sterling High School has partnered with agencies to help provide additional student support focused on mental health and wellness. Programs and services are offered during the school day (3A or 3B) and free of cost to families.
Activities include: Silver Steppers, a majorette-style dance and step team that focuses on learning dances and steps that will be performed at pep rallies throughout the year; and Mindful Movement, a skill-based group that helps to create a mindful space where students can learn mindfulness tools, including intentional connection, active listening, mindful communication, and goal setting.
More information about these activities is available here: Wellness Activities 3A & 3B
