Dauphin County Technical School has made a commitment to serving each student in every way possible to help them obtain a complete academic and vocational education. Knowing that students sometime run into difficulty in school because of drug, alcohol and/or emotional problems our school provides a student assistance program. This program is modeled after many Employee Assistance Programs currently found in private industry. Dauphin County Technical made its decision to begin the Student Assistance Team because of a strong commitment to provide an educational environment which does not tolerate the use of alcohol or drugs and which faces the problem of student suicide head on. Our priority is to have students concentrate on the process of learning and interaction without the negative impacts of chemical use/abuse and emotional depression.
