A holistic education values the health and well-being of every student. Supporting wellness initiatives means contributing to programs that nurture students’ physical, mental, and emotional needs—like counseling, fitness, nutrition, and mindfulness. These programs help students build healthy habits, manage stress, and find balance, which supports their academic success and personal growth. At SMS, Social Emotional Learning (SEL) is integrated into daily homeroom classes and woven throughout the curriculum. By prioritizing wellness, we empower students to thrive both academically and personally, setting them up for future success.
