This week, we are taking a moment to celebrate and recognize our amazing school counselors and the important role they play in the lives of our students. Our counselors are more than guides for academics—they are listeners, encouragers, problem-solvers, and advocates who support students socially, emotionally, and academically every single day.
In this post, you’ll get to meet our counseling team and learn a little more about each of them through their photos and a few questions they shared with us. We hope this gives you a chance to see the caring hearts and dedication behind the work they do for our school community.
We are incredibly grateful for their compassion, commitment, and constant support. Happy Counselor Appreciation Week to our outstanding counselors—we appreciate you more than words can say! ❤️
