It's National School Counselors Week.

School counselors play a critical role in student academic achievement. Each counselor plays an important role in the educational leadership team. School counselors work with students by providing academic support, help to improve social skills, work with students on achieving personal goals and work with students on college and career readiness.

This week, Feb. 1 - 5, is National School Counselor Week. This week is dedicated to focus on the valuable achievements and supports our school counselors provide to our students. The American School Counselor Association dedicates this week to highlight the unique contribution of professional school counselors and the tremendous impact they have in helping student success.

The Pea Ridge School District thanks its counselors for all that they do and the valuable support they provide!
