The Carson City School District will honor school counselors during National School Counseling Week, Feb. 6-10, according to a news release.
National School Counseling Week highlights the tremendous impact school counselors can have in helping students achieve school success and plan for a career.
School counselors are certified, experienced educators with a master’s degree in school counseling. The combination of their training and experience makes them an integral part of the total educational program. These counselors work to ensure that Carson’s students have access to support in the areas of academic success, social emotional skill sets and career and college planning through many activities such as class scheduling, group supports and individual meetings.
Carson City School District has 14 certified school counselors: Carson High School (Justin Barlow, Dori Draper, Bridget Gordon, Nicki Hendee, Fawn Lewis, Michele Quintero and Monica Weaver), Carson Middle School (Jez Batten, Roger Churchill and Madison Krause), Eagle Valley Middle School (Mandy Chambers, Lupe Schofield and Whitney Tynes) and Pioneer High School (Cary Jordan).
