This Week is National School Counselor's Week!


SCHOOL COUNSELORS CELEBRATE DURING NATIONAL SCHOOL COUNSELING WEEK, FEBRUARY 6TH– 10TH


National School Counseling Week, sponsored by the American School Counselor Association (ASCA), will be celebrated from February 6th– 10th, to focus public attention on the unique contribution of professional 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.


School counselors are actively engaged in helping students examine their abilities, strengths, interests and talents; work in a partnership with parents as they encounter the challenges of raising children in today's world; focus on positive ways to enhance students' social/personal,
educational, and career development; and work 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. Professional school counselors are certified, experienced
educators with a master's degree in guidance and counseling. The combination of their training and experience makes them an integral part of the total educational program.


Carlisle Community School District has a strong team of professional school counselors who work with students every day. The counselors host many events throughout the school year, including: College Planning Night, Financial Aid Night, Smart Discipline Parenting Seminar, Mad About Money Theater night, Education Expo, Resource Fair, Career Day, Character Education, Junior Achievement Biz Town Curriculum and Field Trip, Operation Backpack, and Big Cats Little Cats Mentoring Program.


Be sure to thank the counselors for all the work they do with our students!
