💙Meet Our Student Support Team! 💙
At High Plains Elementary, we believe that every student deserves the opportunity to explore new horizons—and sometimes, students need a little support along the way!
Meet the team helping our students stay safe, happy, supported, and learning:
🛡️ Officer Caleb Victoria – School Security Officer
💙 Mrs. Sari Torres – School Counselor
📚 Mrs. Dyan Blais – MTSS Coordinator
Together, they work to support the whole child, collaborating with students, families, and staff to create a school environment where every student feels safe, connected, and ready to learn.
Whether they’re helping a student navigate a challenge, connecting families with resources, supporting academic and behavioral growth, or simply being a trusted adult when a student needs one, this team is here to help our High Plains community find their way forward. Because exploring new horizons is always better when you have a great team helping you along the way!
