Each year the Archbishop Mitty Academic Council, the Religion Department, and the Counseling and Guidance Department, sponsor a freshman parent information night. Throughout the year the Counseling and Guidance Department works with teachers in various disciplines to develop curriculum related to the recreational use of drugs and alcohol. The program also features coordination with other high schools regarding educational programs, policies, and strategies for supporting students at risk.
