School Notes Overview:

Guardian Angel Community Services has been providing social services to Will and Grundy Counties since 1897. Our mission has been and will continue to be improving the lives of children, families, and individuals. The Day Treatment Program established in 1976 was renamed in 1999 as the Dillard Harris Educational Center after a prominent Educator and Board Member of Guardian Angel Home.

The program’s therapeutic approach focuses on meeting the student’s emotional and academic needs. Behavior modification and supportive approaches are utilized in helping students develop the skills necessary to return to their home school.

An individualized instructional program is offered to students to correct specific academic skills and deficiencies that have contributed to their behavior problems. ...read more
