Student Support & Wellness
Supported Fully, Empowered Completely.
Girls become their best when they are fully seen and supported by the people around them. That kind of relational, holistic care sits at the center of support and wellness at Mayfield.
Support is not one office or one person, but a team. Our Student Support Team–led by our Director of Student Support and made up of our licensed mental health professional, nurse, learning specialists, college counselors, Director of Student Life, academic advisors, and the athletics department–work together to offer comprehensive and personalized support.
We partner with teachers and families to let every Mayfield student know that someone has her back. The result is a culture where asking for help is a sign of strength, and where support and independence grow side by side.
