VISION, MISSION & GOALS
The MHS team works collaboratively with other departments within DISD, including, but not limited to the Special Education, Counseling Services and Social and Emotional Learning departments. While each department pursues the goal of providing appropriate services to help students achieve academic success, each of these departments has separate functions to ensure this goal is met. The MHS department focuses on the provision of services (crisis intervention, short & long-term counseling, medication management, physical health, etc.) that promote health and wellbeing.
