On Wednesday, October 12, 2022, students, faculty, staff, families and community members gathered to celebrate the grand opening of the new 6-12 student services hub at Chapel Hill ISD. The WELL is a resource designed to facilitate student services, cultivate student potential and assist students and families with navigating the future. It is a new approach designed to promote academic WELLness. “It is exciting to have a new system that provides resources to meet the needs of all of our students in one central location. Helping students and families feel supported as they negotiate the rigors of high school is a priority at The WELL,” said Matt Dunn, high school principal. “Students in junior high school will benefit from the guidance and WELL activities that promote academic and individual WELLness. This means that students will transition from junior high to high school more fully prepared to begin to plan for their post secondary goals,” added Chris McClure, junior high school principal. The school counselor, academic advisor, academic deans and communities in schools personnel are housed in The WELL. The WELL staff collaborates together to provide assistance with student achievement; instructional support; drop-out prevention; counseling; graduation; college, career, and military readiness. Located in the JH/HS Library, at the heart of the campus, The WELL is a one stop shop for all, focusing on accessibility of resources, assistance and guidance. This unique approach to the delivery of student and family support is born out of the passion that Chapel Hill ISD has for individual student success.
