CMS Student Support Programs

At Catasauqua Middle School, we are committed to helping our students overcome challenges and thrive both academically and personally. We partner with local agencies to provide a variety of support services tailored to meet the needs of our students.

Our programs include mentorship through the Center for Humanistic Change (CHC), behavioral health support from Salisbury Behavioral Health, and student focus groups designed to build life skills. We also offer the Student Assistance Program (SAP) to provide additional resources for students facing barriers to success.

Explore the options available and reach out to our team if you feel your child could benefit from these services.
