It’s National School Counseling Week, a time to focus on the critically important contributions that our school counselors make to student success.
School counselors have a tremendous impact on student success, both in school and in planning for their future educational and career pathways.
School counselors provide academic guidance to students and also are a vital part of the social-emotional support team at school. They promote access and equity. They advise, inform, guide and comfort hundreds of students, helping them plan and set goals for future achievement.
When the career track began more than 100 years ago, it was called “vocation guidance.” It has evolved to today’s school counselor, a highly educated and professionally certified person whose work changes the lives of young people they serve.
Recognizing this important role, the City School District of 91ÌÒÉ« invested in three additional counseling positions at 91ÌÒÉ« High School this school year.
Please join us in taking a moment to thank your school counselors this week – and every week!
