Finding a Middle Path: Dealing with Control & Compromise Issues⠀
⠀
As parents, it can be hard to know when to draw the line and if you are being too strict or too loose when it comes to parenting your teen. This session will explore the issues of control and compromise through expert-led discussions as well as an experiential learning component from our art therapist. No prior art skills are necessary!⠀
⠀
Attendees will learn about: the difference between normal teenage struggles and issues of clinical concern that may require professional help; a new perspective on the role of control in the parent/teen relationship; creative ways to explore those roles at home; and practical strategies for approaching topics like house rules effectively and with confidence.⠀
⠀
This series is made possible by our partnership with Skyland Trail and Fusion Academy⠀

We love our faculty and staff. 💙⠀
⠀
Archway is a close-knit group of teachers, recovery experts, and students working in tandem to create a welcoming campus that not only physically challenges our students to remain sober, but stretches their expectations socially, spiritually, intellectually, and academically.⠀
⠀
One way we do this is by having an incredible teaching staff who have expertise in a diversity of subjects and talents.⠀
Meet Mrs. Tara Hrozek. She was born and raised in Austin, Texas. She graduated from Southwestern University in Georgetown, Texas with a major in Biology (Pre-med track) and a minor in Spanish. While at Southwestern, she played on the soccer team and was on the swim team as well. Most of her current free time is spent with her husband as they prepare to welcome their first child in November 2020!! (We are so excited for them.)⠀
⠀
Mrs. Hrozek teaches Algebra I, Geometry, Algebraic Reasoning, and Spanish at Archway. This upcoming year will be her 4th year at Archway, but her 6th year teaching overall. Before coming to Archway, she taught for 2 years at Kempner High School in Fort Bend. While at Kempner, she taught Algebra I, Geometry, and Geometry Pre-AP, and coached the girls’ JV soccer and freshmen volleyball teams.⠀
⠀
Thoughts on Archway:⠀
“I truly love teaching and am especially grateful that I get the opportunity to teach at Archway. I enjoy getting to be a part of a school culture that supports the students’ recovery and inspires them to reach their full potential. My goal is to make as much of a difference in my students’ lives as they do in mine.”💙⠀
⠀
We are so grateful to have Mrs. Hrozek at Archway. ⠀
⠀
We appreciate you Tara and the work you do. ⠀

Some want it. Some wish it. Some make it happen! ⠀
⠀
93% of Archway graduates made it happen this year by being accepted into a university or college. We applaud our students, teachers, and parents for this incredible statistic.⠀
⠀
Graduating high school can seem unattainable for teens and families in the throes in substance misuse. ⠀
⠀
Archway, and other sober high schools around the nation, play a critical role in making the unattainable, attainable. We do this by providing educational and therapeutic support to students with treated substance use disorders who are at risk for school failure or dropout and substance use relapse. ⠀
⠀
Graduating high school AND being sober is momentous. But graduating high school, being sober AND attending college is epoch-making! ⠀

At Archway Academy we have layers of accountability and communication within school and across our students personal continuum of care.
We do this by working collaboratively with Alternative Peer Group (APG), counselors, family, and any other relevant parties supporting the emotional, social, mental, physical, academic, and spiritual development of our students.

Meet Ms. Barbara Combs. She has been in education since 1991 and has been been a Support Teacher at Archway since 2016. "I became a teacher because I wanted to instill in others the importance of being lifelong learners."⠀
⠀
Ms. Combs graduated from Indiana University. She was born in, Gary, IN - the same city as Michael Jackson. And like Michael Jackson lyrics in Heal the World, Ms Combs makes Archway "a better place." She helps to heal our students academically and emotionally. ⠀
⠀
Thank you Ms.Combs for your continued dedication and service to Archway.⠀

#WeAreArchway #WhereEducationMeetsRecovery
Archway Academy is a blend of recovery support and education - so that students with substance use disorders and other mental health challenges can go to a school that respects and nurtures ALL parts of who they are as a teen - academic, social, emotional, spiritual.⠀
⠀
Instead of returning students to the same environments in which they’re most at risk for relapse—or where it’s nearly impossible to catch back up academically after treatment—Archway provides a structured place for teens to continue both their recovery and their education without compromising either.⠀
⠀
#WeAreArchway #WhereEducationMeetsRecovery
Archway opened its door in 2003 to offer students and worried families in the throes of teenage substance use a viable option and support system for restoring their child's physical, mental, emotional, and academic health.⠀
⠀
Our mission is to provide a supportive and sober learning environment to meet the individual educational needs of adolescents in recovery.⠀
⠀
We love receiving testimonials like these from community members. They encourage and inspire us to continue doing what we do... Love fiercely. Offer unrelenting joy. Have faith. Trust the process. And help people uncover the best version of themselves.⠀
⠀
#WeAreArchway #WhereEducationMeetsRecovery
Keeping students sober and in class is our priority.
Some of the ways we work to achieve this is by loving them with unrelenting
joy and having faith in their ability to uncover the best version of themselves.
