Salpointe Wellness Program

Salpointe Catholic High School believes holistic wellness is a conscious focus on nourishing the body, engaging the mind, and nurturing the spirit that improves quality of life and inspires a lifetime of health and balance.

Brain Science at Salpointe!

We are thrilled to partner with Studio Elsewhere and Yale University neuroscience researchers to study the positive effects of bio-experiential technology on brain health and stress reduction! Salpointe’s Recharge Room in the Stevens Wellness Center allows students and employees to select from a variety of nature scenes that synchronize with light, sound, and aroma to improve mood, increase energy, encourage calm and/or sharpen focus. We are honored to be the only high school in the country participating in this exciting research and offering state-of-the-art wellness resources to our community.

What’s New with Wellness at Salpointe?

Lulu is on Campus!

This is Salpointe’s new campus puppy, named Lulu by the Class of 2030. She’s getting used to her new job and you’ll see her more and more as she gets settled. Lulu’s part mascot, part emotional support dog, and all love!

Wellness Corner in Click Library

This little corner of the library is filled with wellness resources, comfy chairs, puzzles, and coloring books. Settle in, learn more about self-care, and allow yourself to relax.

Wellness in Classrooms

The New Year began with new wellness items in classrooms: water fountains, sound machines, aromatherapy, light diffusers, plants, and more. We’re investing in creating a peaceful learning environment.

A Beautiful Reminder

Salpointe is a Carmelite school and this beautiful mural in senior patio by alumna Jodie Lewers Chertudi ’97 reminds us every day of our commitment to prayer, community, and service.


How Salpointe Defines Wellness

We focus on eight dimensions of wellness to optimize health and resilience. We foster a God-centered culture of well-being, cultivate a sense of agency, and support self-compassion among students, faculty, and staff.


Wellness Advisory Committee

Salpointe’s team of internationally-known wellness experts meets regularly, providing guidance and expertise to drive innovation, ensure the success of Salpointe’s Wellness Program, and improve the lives of our students, families, and employees.
