Instructional Support Staff
Department of SWD (Students With Disabilities)
At HSFI students with disabilities have access to the same curriculum and high expectations as their non-disabled peers, while receiving the supports they need to succeed that are outlined in the Individualized Education Program (IEP) in the least restrictive environment. In addition, we offer various related services for students who qualify.
We have numerous educational settings to best address the needs of our students which include, ICT, SETSS and 15:1 Special Class. In addition we have a trained staff of psychologists, a social worker, counselors and teachers who work closely with our students to ensure their needs are being met within our challenging academic environment. Our Falcon Health Center also offers At-Risk counseling for students.
