Comprehensive School Counseling Program Update
GSD Board – February 7, 2023
Celebrating 31 Years of Comprehensive School Counseling in GSD
A school counselor’s work is about motivating and inspiring, about placement and success, about believing and doing right by every student.
When school counseling is organized and implemented as a program, it places school counselors at the center of education, making it possible for them to contribute directly and substantially to their local school and district.
