"National School Counseling Week is Feb. 3-7, 2025. The theme this year is "School Counseling: Helping Students Thrive,” sponsored by the American School Counselor Association (ASCA). Counselors make a unique contribution within their school and this week highlights the tremendous impact school counselors have in helping students achieve social and academic success.
School Counselors are actively engaged in:
-helping students examine their abilities, strengths, interests and talents;
-working in a partnership with parents as they encounter the challenges of raising children in today’s world;
-focusing on positive ways to enhance students’ academic, career and social/emotional development;
- working with teachers and other educators to provide an educational system where students can realize their potential and set healthy, realistic and optimistic aspirations for themselves.
School counselors are certified, experienced educators with a master’s degree in school counseling. The combination of their training and experience makes them an integral part of the total educational program."
