School counseling and support is a critical component of education. We offer comprehensive school counseling and academic support that is predicated on the belief that all students are unique and dynamic individuals, capable of becoming responsive and productive adults. The essential nurturing of the body, mind and spirit along with a comprehensive curriculum allows us to educate the whole young woman. It is an ever-changing, ever-evolving commitment at STA.

The Achievement Center is open every class period, as well as both activity periods for all students. The Center assists students in becoming more efficient and effective learners. We are here to help students improve their academic skills and aid in their academic success. Our primary goal is to assist students referred by teachers and counselors to become more independent, efficient, and effective learners. The Academic Achievement Center is an integral part of the campus community, interacting with faculty, staff, and students to provide a range of services designed to meet individual needs.
