ABOUT OUR DEPARTMENT
The Student Support Services Department has been working hard to bring quality programs to the students of Santa Cruz County since 1995. Each year we provide a variety of academic and other supportive services to over 5,000 students throughout the county. These services are rooted in the philosophy of youth development that emphasizes a caring and respectful community that values the contribution youth can make in determining their own futures.
