FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

HOPE, AR - The week of February 6-10, 2023 is National School Counseling Week. At this time, we would like to focus public attention on the unique contribution of school counselors within the Hope Public School system and how students are positively impacted as a result of what our counselors do. National School Counseling Week highlights the tremendous impact school counselors can have in helping students meet their college and career aspirations.

We encourage community members to contact the campus counselors and express thanks for their significant contributions to our students' futures.

This year's theme is “School Counselors: Helping Students Dream Big,” sponsored by the American School Counselor Association (ASCA).

“School counselors work with all students to remove barriers to learning by addressing students’ academic concerns, career options and social/emotional skills,” said Jill Cook, ASCA executive director. “School counseling programs help to increase student achievement and provide a much-needed resource for students, parents, teachers and administrators. School counselors are integral to student success.”

Hope Public Schools celebrates our school counselors: Paige Bobo, Shauntelle Jarvis, Marilyn Marks, Joyce Smith, Delma Stewart, Christi Sullivan, and Doni Watson.
