During today’s Board of Education meeting, our school counselors were proudly recognized for their dedication and service to our district. This group plays an essential role in supporting students’ academic achievement, social-emotional growth, and college and career readiness. They wear many hats each day—advocate, mentor, problem-solver, encourager, and leader—often working behind the scenes to ensure every student has the support needed to succeed. We are deeply grateful for their unwavering commitment, compassion, and service to our students and schools. Thank you to our outstanding school counselors for the difference you make every single day! Pictured with our Superintendent, Board Members, and Counseling Supervisor Kevin Dulaney, are (left to right): Julie Kladke-HHS, Erica Salter-HES, Monica Allen-PHS, Jonathan Tuck-PES, Lisa McCaleb-BES & BHS, Jessica Scott-GES, Alana Hawkins-MCHS, Halie Hagood-HCES, Raven Wilburn-HCHS, and Allyson Frederick-HMS.
