Dear PVHS Students, Parents and Community Members,

At Palos Verdes High School, we believe our students’ emotional well -being is an essential component to providing an environment that is safe and conducive to learning.  As our students progress through high school, they will face a number of different challenges.  The PVHS staff not only acknowledges that these challenges exist, but we are dedicated to supporting our students while facing these challenges.  It is our hope that students will learn lifelong lessons and healthy strategies that will be applicable to a diverse set of circumstances.

We recognize that the experiences our students face are as diverse as the students themselves.  Challenges such as grief, body image, stress, substance abuse, and social interactions are just the tip of the iceberg.  Through the PVHS Student Outreach Services program and website, we seek to provide students and parents with a wide array of resources that will assist them through a variety of difficulties.  From online resources to individual and group counseling, the PVHS SOS program was developed as a comprehensive support system for our students throughout their high school experience. 

Through this program, the PVHS administration and staff work with a diverse group of experts, giving our students access to a wide range of support services.  The hope is that this program and website will enable families to obtain information and seek support in a safe and confidential manner.
