National School Counseling Week, February 1-5, 2021

We would like to recognize professional school counselors during the week of February 1-5, 2021, as we celebrate National School Counseling Week.  

The theme for the 2021 National School Counseling Week is entitled “School Counselors: All In for All Students,” and highlights the tremendous impact school counselors have in helping students achieve school success and plan for the future. 

School counselors work with all students to remove barriers to learning by addressing academic concerns, social/emotional issues, and career awareness for postsecondary options. Comprehensive and developmental school counseling programs help to increase student achievement and are a vital part of the educational process for all students.

Please thank the professionals in our Counseling office:

Mr. Karl Zweerink, Freshmen Counselor, Department Chair

Dr. Rachel Loving, Senior Counselor

Ms. Kimberly Forquor, Senior Counselor

Ms. Joy Cobb, Sophomore & Junior Counselor

Ms. Lisa Ebeling, School Psychologist 

Mr. Lucas Veale, Registrar
