Rise is a program for high school students who require intensive in-school counseling along with academic coursework and behavior management plans to make meaningful educational progress. The goal for all students is to enable their transition to a least-restrictive environment and/or to graduate from high school.

Rise addresses the needs of students who have depression, anxiety, and other mental health disorders that interfere in their ability to make progress in their regular high school. The program does not offer in-school medication management, on-going psychiatric services, drug and alcohol counseling, or physical management of aggressive behaviors.
