The Director of Student Services at Ben Davis University High School (BDU) provides strategic leadership and administrative oversight for all comprehensive support functions within a high-stakes early college environment. This role is primarily responsible for ensuring that every scholar is equipped to navigate the rigorous dual-enrollment path, which requires a seamless transition between high school and college coursework from Vincennes University. The Director manages the counseling department and community partnerships while leading the Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) and academic intervention strategies designed to keep students on track for both their high school diploma and their Associate Degree. By coordinating semester audits, academic scheduling, and college-level placement testing, the Director acts as the primary architect of the "support squad" that facilitates student persistence, personal responsibility, and long-term post-secondary success.
