ASCA School Counselor of the Year Program
Nominate a School Counselor Today! If you know an exemplary school counselor, then ASCA wants to hear about it. ASCA's School Counselor of the Year program honors the best of the best – school counselors who are running a top-notch, comprehensive school counseling program at either the elementary, middle or high school level.
This newly enhanced program brings 10 finalists and their nominators on an all-expenses paid trip to Washington, D.C., in February 2008, where they will participate in high-level discussions about education trends, tour Washington, D.C., and be honored at a black-tie awards ceremony. From these 10 finalists, one school counselor of the year will be selected and announced at the awards ceremony. Nominees must be U.S.-based practicing school counselors as of February 2008.
Nominate an outstanding school counselor today. Nominations are due Sept. 14, 2007.
