National School Counseling Week: February 7th-11th, 2022
Last week was National School Counseling Week. This week highlights the tremendous impact school counselors can have in helping students achieve school success and plan for a career.
School counselors provide a wealth of support throughout a student’s academic career. As a counselor, they help students when they face adversity such as bullying, trouble at home, academic performance, and relationship issues. Counselors also listen to students’ interests and assess their skills and personality to help them decide their future academic and career goals.
Thank you to our amazing counselors and everything they do for our students!
