Student Support Services

Each student at DGN is assigned to an Alpha Team. Each team consists of a counselor, psychologist, dean, social worker, student assistance coordinator and nurse. Find your team members below based on your grade and the first letter of your last name.

There are many ways to reach Alpha Team members including:

• Email - Links to contact Alpha members by email are listed below 
• Telephone Message - Alpha members will receive an email whenever they have a voice message and will return your call as soon as possible.
• Individual Appointment Requests - Counselors use Calendly, a confidential online system for booking individual appointments with students. Students can access the links below to schedule an appointment with a member of their Alpha Team. We encourage family members to use a counselor's email if they need to make an appointment.
