Supporting Our Heroes: Resources for Military Families
-
Welcome to Pickerington High School Central, home of the Tigers! We understand that relocation, deployment, and reintegration can be stressful for families. This stress can exert an impact on student learning. We have put together a list of resources and helpful contacts designed to assist members of the Armed Forces and their families who are part of the Tiger family. Our School Counseling office offers both academic counseling and mental health services. Ms. Perez-Robertson heads Pickerington Central's's military families support program. Please make them aware of your status as a military family. Any time we at Pickerington Central may be of assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Please contact Ms. Maria Perez-Robertson for assistance.
