Community partners

Our district partners with several outside agencies, including Delphi Rise and Rochester Regional Health, to support students’ varying needs. Delphi Rise offers prevention services through counseling and education, recovery through treatment services, and support through care services. Meanwhile, Rochester Regional Mental Health (formerly Genesee Mental Health) provides mental and behavioral health services. Our student support team at can refer students for services, but parents/guardians can also request support through their student’s school counselor.
