National School Counseling Week 2022

National School Counseling Week 2022, “School Counseling: Better Together,” sponsored by the American School Counselor Association (ASCA), will be celebrated from Feb. 7–11, 2022, to focus public attention on the unique contribution of school counselors within U.S. school systems and how students are different as a result of what school counselors do. National School Counseling Week highlights the tremendous impact school counselors can have in helping students achieve school success and plan for a career.

“The special week honoring school counselors provides recognition for school counselors who implement comprehensive school counseling programs, a vital part of the educational process for all students as they meet the challenges of the 21st century,” said Superintendent Dr. Wade Smith.

School counselors work with all students to remove barriers to learning by addressing students’ academic concerns, career options and social/emotional skills.

“School counseling programs help to increase student achievement and provide a much-needed resource for students, parents, teachers and administrators,” said Dr. Smith. “School counselors are integral to student success.”
