🏫 Our newly remodeled Student Services Center is complete!
This entire renovation was completed in-house by our talented maintenance team and Mr. Sherman. Their hard work transformed the space to include:
✅ New and expanded offices
✅ Larger student engagement areas
✅ A fully remodeled health services area
✅ A more welcoming and functional environment for students
The new center brings guidance, social work, and health services together in one convenient location, making it easier for students to receive the support they need.
We are incredibly proud of this beautiful new space—and even prouder of the EAWR team members who made it happen!
