Support Services
Safety/Security
The Security Office has a full staff of security guards plus two School Resource Officers (SRO), who are members of the Stamford Police Department. Security personnel are visible throughout the building during the school day, with one or two per floor, to monitor entrances, hallways, restrooms and other locations. The SRO is the Law Enforcement Officer in the building and works with staff, faculty and students to ensure the safety of all. Security personnel also are on duty after school hours and during games, team practice sessions and school events. Several serve as coaches of SHS sports teams or drive teams on school buses to their games off campus. Students can seek help and support from security staff.
Mediation
Stamford High has a long-standing peer mediation program. Upperclassmen interested in serving as mediators of minor disputes between students go through hours of training. An adult provides the training and oversight at mediation sessions. Stamford High staff tries to be proactive in dealing with students who are known to have potential conflicts. Each mediation session is concluded with some resolution for appropriate behavior.
