The role of the school psychologist at Wheaton North High School is broad, and based on the National Association of School Psychologists Mission Statement. We promote educationally and psychologically healthy environments for all children and youth by implementing research-based, effective programs that prevent problems, enhance independence, and promote optimal learning.

In addition to our unique skills in the area of psychological evaluation, we, along with other student personnel specialists, also deliver direct intervention services, case consultation, program service development and monitoring, and system wide prevention activities. The school psychologists, in collaboration with other specialists, are proactive in advocacy for support of programs to meet the special needs of students and for the coordinated delivery of such programs.
