“This recognition is a testament to the incredible dedication of our counselors, who work diligently to support our student’s success and well-being,” Dr. Jo-Lynette Crayton, assistant superintendent of curriculum and instructional services, said. “On a daily basis, they are assessing the needs of students, staff, and families, and fostering relationships with them that help bolster achievement. Their work helps support a positive school culture and ensures effective guidance services are available.”
