School Counselors Celebrate During National School Counseling
Week, February 4-8, 2019
National School Counseling Week, sponsored by the American School
Counselor Association (ASCA), will be celebrated February 4-8, 2019, to bring
attention to the unique contribution of professional school counselors. National School Counseling Week highlights
the tremendous impact school counselors can have in helping students achieve
school success and graduate college and career ready.
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 school
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, Resource Fair, Mental
Health Awareness Night, Career Day, 8th Grade College visits, Character
Education, and Operation Backpack.
Be sure to thank the counselors for
all the work they do with our students!
