We LOVE Our School Counselors!
The first week of February is recognized as National School Counseling Week, a time to observe the crucial role school counselors play in shaping the academic, emotional, and social growth of students. This year’s theme, “School Counseling: Helping Students Thrive,” underscores the impact counselors have on students’ academic journeys and personal development. From providing guidance on career choices to helping students navigate personal challenges, school counselors are integral to a well-rounded educational experience.
Organized by the American School Counselor Association (ASCA), National School Counseling Week is dedicated to acknowledging the contributions that school counselors make to their schools and communities.
A Special Thank You

Their ability to foster a supportive, inclusive, and empowering environment is essential to the success of students, and they deserve recognition for their tireless efforts. School counselors are vital to the success of students and the entire school community. We are grateful for their unwavering commitment to helping students thrive both academically and personally.
"At WLHS, our holistic counseling program is a vital component in shaping the next generation of productive Christian citizens. Our counselors are not only dedicated professionals, but the cornerstone of this impactful work. I’ve had the privilege of witnessing firsthand the profound influence they have on our students and families, offering guidance, support, and leadership every day. Their ability to nurture students academically, emotionally, and spiritually equips them to face life’s challenges with resilience and compassion. This program is truly a testament to the care and commitment we have for our students' future, and I’m continually inspired by the work they do in shaping lives and hearts for Christ."— Mr. Grey Davis, Director of Student Services

This week, take a moment to thank your school counselor, Mrs. Chavez, Mrs. Jiles, and Mr. Schumacher, for the work they do behind the scenes to help students thrive and achieve their goals. Whether through a simple note, a kind word, or a shout-out on social media, we can all show appreciation for the positive difference counselors make in our schools.
