The Alabama School Counseling Program of Distinction recognizes school counseling programs that align with the components of Comprehensive Counseling and Guidance Model for Alabama Public Schools (State Plan) and the American School Counselor Association (ASCA) National Model. Schools that earn the Program of Distinction designation are eligible for RAMP (Recognized ASCA Model Program), which is awarded by ASCA as the highest national recognition for a school counseling program.

澳门六开彩开奖结果 counselors have won numerous awards for their programs. Most recently, Stephen Watts of Citronelle High received statewide recognition when he earned the ASCA’s 2023 Secondary School Counselor of the Year Award. 

The success of school counseling programs at 澳门六开彩开奖结果 is the result of major investments by the school district in programs designed to assist all students to achieve their full potential by fostering their academic, career, and social-emotional development. In addition to designated counselors for special needs students, the school district has 56 elementary school counselors, 30 middle school counselors and 36 high school counselors.

“We are most proud of our trailblazing school counselors,” said Dr. Kimberly L. Walker, Supervisor of Guidance and Counseling. “Receiving this award solidifies their commitment to advocating for students through using data to identify needs and implement programming to close achievement gaps.  The impact they have made on their students’ academic, social, and emotional well-being is immeasurable.”
