Feb. 1-5 was National School Counseling Week, and North Lamar ISD campuses recognized the tremendous impact their school counselors have in helping students achieve school success and planning careers.
School counselors are certified, experienced educators with a masterâs degree in school counseling who shoulder many responsibilities. They are actively engaged in helping students examine their abilities, strengths, interests and talents. They work in a partnership with parents as they encounter the challenges of raising children in todayâs world. They focus on positive ways to enhance studentsâ academic, postsecondary and social/emotional development, and they 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.
