Welcome to Huntington Beach High School


	Stop-N-Center
		In the Spring of 2004, HBHS opened an on-site Stop ‘N Center for counseling. Located in Room A1, it’s purpose is to serve any student who “stops in” during the school day for counseling services to discuss concerns, explore options, and take responsibility for choices. The Center is designed as a safe, confidential place where students can entrust in a trained psychologist to get information and discuss issues. The primary focus is to help students in crisis. Ongoing, regular counseling is not available, however referrals to outside counselors and psychologists can be made if needed. Along with counseling services, the Stop ‘N Center: Provides informational pamphlets and brochures on common adolescent issues Promotes special programs to encourage healthy life styles, such as Red Ribbon Week, DARE, Conflict Mediation, Friday Night Live, Every 15 Minutes Supports programs that might further help students at the school, such as Freshmen Academy classes. Michelle Pendergast is the Student Support Specialist/School Psychologist running the Stop ‘N Center.
