Happy National School Counseling Week!

School counselors make a tremendous impact on students’ lives—helping them succeed in school today while planning confidently for the careers of tomorrow. They actively guide students in discovering their abilities, strengths, interests, and talents, empowering them to see what’s possible.

Through strong partnerships with parents, school counselors help navigate the real challenges of raising children in today’s world. They focus on positive, proactive ways to support students’ academic growth, career readiness, and social/emotional development.

Working hand-in-hand with teachers and educators, school counselors help create an educational environment where every student can realize their potential and set healthy, realistic, and optimistic goals for the future.

Certified, experienced educators with a master’s degree in school counseling, their training and expertise make them an integral part of the total educational program.

This week, we celebrate and thank our school counselors, Judith Przybyla, Amy Gavazzi, Jennifer Martin, James Hobbs, and Amy Ward, for the vital role they play in shaping brighter futures!
