Last, but certainly not least, we would like to shine a spotlight on our Carrigan support staff!

The Carrigan team plays a critical role in helping students acquire the resources they need to achieve success in and out of the classroom. The team also strives to enhance awareness of mental health, social-emotional development, and community resources for long-term support.
