We recognize National School Counseling Week 2026 (February 2–6), sponsored by the American School Counselor Association (ASCA).
This week highlights the essential role school counselors play within U.S. school systems and the tremendous impact they have in helping students achieve academic success and plan for future careers.
School counselors support students socially, emotionally, and academically. 📣 Take a moment this week to thank your school counselors for their dedication, compassion, and commitment to student success.
On behalf of Taylor County Schools, we extend our sincere gratitude to our county school counselors for all that you do for our students, families, and schools. Your work makes a difference every single day. 💙💛
