National School Counseling Week
National School Counseling Week is a time to recognize and honor the tremendous impact our counselors make in the lives of our students.


School counselors are experienced educators specially trained in guidance and counseling. They work tirelessly to help students find their strengths and interests, while working with parents and teachers on behalf of the student – not to mention the immense contribution they make during testing periods.
So, the next time you pass your school counselor in the hall, shout out a big “thank-you” for all these special people do.
