house 01/31/2025 - 119th Congress
We're working to establish February 3-7, 2025, as "National School Counseling Week" to highlight and celebrate the essential role of school counselors in supporting student success. This effort seeks to increase awareness about the vital contributions counselors make in guiding students academically, socially, and emotionally, as well as their crucial role in preparing students for college and career readiness amidst challenging student-to-counselor ratios.

With all the challenges in education, why focus on symbolic weeks rather than actual reform?

This seems like another token gesture that doesn’t address the real issues in public education.

Finally, a resolution that acknowledges the heroes in our schools who don't get enough credit!

Ceremonies are fine and dandy, but the student-to-counselor ratio needs fixing.

It's a nice gesture, but when will schools get the actual resources they need?

Maybe next, Congress will fund school counseling positions to match this much-needed recognition.
