Student Services Overview

Located in the Main Office, the Student Service Center's goal is to support all students holistically - physically, academically, socially, and emotionally. You will find the offices of our Principal, three Assistant Principals, School Counselors, School Clerk/Registrar, Community Liaison, Health Clerk, and District Nurse. Our UpLift and CASSY counselors are nearby in our Wellness Center. See below for more information on who to contact for various services.

Assistant Principals

All the Assistant Principals (APs) are based in the Student Services Center and are supported by the Counseling Clerk and Health Clerk. The APs have oversight of student behavioral issues and attendance, and coordinate with our School Counselors to support students academically. In addition to supporting students and staff, the APs oversee the safety and integrity of the entire Leigh campus.

Leigh's Assistant Principals and School Counselors work together to provide students with the formative support and resources they will need in order to achieve in high school. The Student Services Center is the starting point for alternative services and student interventions that may be beneficial to students seeking to achieve. In our vibrant and diverse learning community, the APs routinely remind everyone of our school’s shared behavioral expectations to be kind and curious.

School Counselors

The Leigh High School Counseling team strives to assist students in achieving success in all aspects of their lives. Counselors get to know their students in grade nine and remain involved with them throughout high school, providing individual, ongoing counseling on academic, personal, extracurricular, and post-secondary options. College advising is expanded during the second half of the junior year and continues into the senior year as counselors assist students and supporters in researching post-secondary options, developing a colleges list, and making applications to appropriate colleges and universities. Counselors are also supported by a College & Career Specialist to assist with College Applications, scholarships, FAFSA/CADAA, and more!

Health Clerk

The Health Clerk is available for assistance with the maintenance of immunization records, minor medical emergencies, students who have become ill and need to go home, and issuing PE medical excuses. Every attempt is made to contact parents or the Emergency Contact person listed on the Emergency Card and Registration form. Our ability to contact a responsible adult directly depends on the accuracy of the provided phone numbers. PLEASE UPDATE YOUR PHONE NUMBER IF A CHANGE OCCURS. The Health Clerk is not a nurse and is, therefore, prohibited by law from giving out any type of medication to students without written approval from the student’s doctor.

Injured?

Students should report to the Health Office when injured on campus. Incident/injury reports must be completed with the help of the teacher who was present at the time of the injury.
