At El Modena High School, we recognize that mental health is just as important as physical health. High school can be a challenging time, and we are committed to providing a supportive environment where students feel safe, heard, and valued. Our counselors, teachers, and staff work together to ensure students have access to the resources they need to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.
