The Principal's Desk

Families, Principal Julia Dolan

I am honored to serve as the principal of the SWBOCES Middle and High School (Grades 6–12) Therapeutic Support Program, located within Irvington High School. Our dedicated team is eager to continue strengthening our collaboration with families, partnering districts, and the Irvington School District. These partnerships are essential as we work together to support each student’s academic and social-emotional growth.

This year, we’re excited to welcome both new and returning students to our program. Our mission remains clear: To work collaboratively to deliver high-quality, differentiated academic and social-emotional support to students with a wide range of needs and abilities.

Our program is built around meeting each student where they are. Offering a nurturing, inclusive, and supportive school environment. We aim to help all students build the skills and strategies necessary for emotional and academic growth, ultimately preparing them for success beyond high school.

Thanks to our small class sizes (12:1:1, 12:1:2, and 8:1:2), we are able to tailor instruction to meet individual learning needs. All students are working toward a Regents Diploma and may also qualify for an Advanced Regents Diploma, Local Diploma, and/or the CDOS Credential. Additionally, students who demonstrate readiness may have the opportunity to participate in mainstream classes and school activities. Similarly, our juniors and seniors may have the opportunity to attend vocational classes at the Center for Career Services.

I remain deeply grateful for the opportunity to work with each student and to collaborate with families, partnering districts, and the Irvington community. My door is always open, please feel free to reach out with any questions, concerns, or suggestions.

Sincerely,
Principal Julia Dolan
