School Counselors Celebrate During National School Counseling Week, Feb. 3-7

National School Counseling Week 2025, “School Counseling: Helping Students Thrive,” sponsored by the American School Counselor Association (ASCA), will be celebrated from Feb. 3–7, 2025, to focus public attention on the unique contribution of school counselors within U.S. school systems and how students are different as a result of what school counselors do. National School Counseling Week highlights the tremendous impact school counselors can have in helping students achieve school success and plan for a career.

We commend our school counselors for their active involvement in assisting students as they explore their abilities, strengths, interests, and talents. They work collaboratively with parents to navigate the challenges of raising children in today's society, while also prioritizing positive strategies to enhance students' academic, career, and social/emotional growth. Additionally, they partner with teachers and other educators to create an educational environment where students can unlock their potential and establish healthy, realistic, and optimistic aspirations. School counselors are certified and experienced professionals whose distinctive combination of training and expertise renders them an essential element of our comprehensive educational program.

As the Superintendent of Schools, I urge all staff, community members, students, and parents to take a moment this week to express their gratitude to our counselors for their dedication and for playing such a crucial role in each student's success.
