Thank You, School Counselors!

February 7-11, 2022 is National School Counseling Week - a special time to show our school counselors appreciation for all they do. Learn more about their roles below.

Elementary school counselors

Elementary school counselors are trained in child development, learning strategies, self-management and social skills. They work intentionally to lay a "love of learning" foundation for all students by helping them to become more engaged in their learning and connected to their school. This helps students to be more successful academically, socially, and personally!

High school counselors help students navigate high stakes testing, the challenges of college admissions, the scholarship and financial aid application process, and/or entrance into the workforce.
