Hi, I’m Cathy

I’m the Director of Admissions here at Compass. I’m passionate about assisting our thriving community of complex learners and their families while making Compass a place of potential for each student. Providing resources and guidance, I love to help ensure our learners and their families have the tools they need to succeed.

In addition to helping our current community, I’m always excited to meet new learners and families that could benefit from Compass’ program!

Compass Parent

“It is very difficult to find a program for a child, who needs some extra help and support, a child, who is learning at a pace different from regular peers. The first time I visited Compass High School I was not only impressed, I was shocked, in a good way!”

Compass Parent

“Compass has turned out to be a good place for [my son] to feel emotionally safe and available to learn. I think the best thing about Compass is the number of talented teachers.”
