Spring 2026 Wrap Up Spring 2026 Wrap Up

As we finish up the 2025-2026 school year, we need to stop and reflect on our progress throughout this school year. We will focus on finishing the year strong and prepare for the upcoming transitions that a new school year will bring. We continue to help our Cougars learn how to self-reflect, manage stress, cope with transitions by offering guidance lessons, grade level conferences, and campus-wide counseling activities. Your counselors are here to help you focus on the finish line!

Counseling Topic: End of Year Reflection Counseling Topic: End of Year Reflection

As your Clark Counselors, we want to emphasize that your academic success and mental health is of utmost importance to us. As we close out another school year, we help our students practice self-reflection. Self-reflection involves developing meaning from our experiences to gain understanding of ourselves and the world around us. It is important to reflect on the goals you set at the beginning of the year, struggles you faced and how you overcame them. Try to utilize these lessons in the future or other areas of growth from the year. Self-reflection helps you evaluate your academic and personal/social growth.

Tips for Practicing Self Reflection

Your Clark Counselors are here to help support you socially and emotionally. Keep checking back for additional tips to help you evaluate your academic and personal/social growth


1. Reflect on progress made - Discussing progress made is uplifting and confidence-building and helps you cope with the feelings and situations that life throws at you.


2. Reflect on goals achieved - Discussing goals achieved helps you realize that you DO have the tools needed to achieve goals and overcome obstacles.


3. Ask self-reflection questions - What do you wish you did more of at school? What is one thing that would have made the school year more enjoyable. How can you improve for next year.
