Wellness Resources

In recognition of parents as the primary educators of their children, the Wellness links provided here are made available as a resource for parents in having discussion with their daughters about these relevant issues. We provide these resources as a way for parents and school staff to work together to raise physically, emotionally, spiritually, and morally healthy young women. Carondelet High School provides numerous resources for students and parents via the Wellness Counselors as well.
