Office of Vocational Rehabilitation (OVR) Services
We are pleased to have Josh Pittinger helping our students once a month. Josh comes to us from the Office of Vocational Rehabilitation in York. He provides services for juniors and seniors who have a documented learning disability, physical disability, or mental health diagnosis. OVR offers career and college counseling; testing and assessments; and scholarship information. Josh also provides great practical tips on getting ready for the world after high school whether it is college, a post secondary school, or work. To register your child for this service, talk with your child’s guidance counselor.
Student Assistance Program
This program is in place at York Catholic to identify students who are having difficulties in school due to difficult life experiences, alcohol or drug use, depression, or other mental health problems. Referrals are made to the Student Assistance Team by teachers, counselor, staff, parents, peers, and sometimes by the students themselves. After reviewing the referral, if the team finds sufficient reason to believe there is a problem, a formal, confidential information gathering process is started, and a meeting with the student and the parents is scheduled. The team works with the student and his or her family to develop a course of action to resolve the identified problems. Currently the Student Assistance Team includes Miss Anderson, Mr. Barney, Mrs. Obermeier, Mrs. Hamilton, Mr. Keesey, and the guidance counselors. For more information, please see the Student Assistance Brochure and Parent Permission Form on the Forms and Documents page of this website or consult the student Agenda.
Bully Prevention Program
The YCHS community sees as part of its mission the development of an environment of mutual respect for all its members. Those members include students, families, faculty, administration, and staff. YCHS has established a "Bullying Prevention Committee" which is committed to protecting our students from damaging types of behaviors. To this end, the committee has established a system whereby bullying is identified and appropriate action is taken. For more information, please see the Student Handbook or click here to view the brochure.

York Catholic High School can submit two applications to each of these mentoring programs. Applications will be accepted in the guidance office until September 17.
