At their regular meeting on Monday, February 17, 2014, the Rockwall ISD Board of Trustees approved a proclamation declaring February as National School Counseling Month. RISD elementary, middle school and high school counselors were on hand to be honored by the district.
The proclamation noted that school counselors “are actively committed to helping students explore their abilities, strengths, interests, and talents as these traits relate to college and career readiness.” In addition, it highlighted the fact that school counselors “help parents focus on ways to further the educational, personal, and social growth of their children.”
Prior to the Board meeting, a reception was hosted by the Administrative Services staff to honor all counselors and the work that they on behalf of students and families.
