School Counselor of the Year (SCOY) Nominations 2023-24
Thank you to all that Nominated!
Dear Educators, Students, and Families,
Do you know an exceptional school counselor? Of course you do! There are lots of them, but has one made a significant impact on you, your child or maybe the school where you work? Now is the time to recognize and reflect on how school counselors impact and promote the academic and social emotional growth of students as they prepare to become citizens of the 21st century.
Would you like to honor a school counselor who has gone above and beyond the regular duties of their job, as they plan and implement programs and activities that make a difference for the students, families and communities in Delaware? In appreciation of our school counselors’ invaluable contributions, the DSCA Board is now accepting nominations for our Delaware School Counselor of the Year Award.
Nominating a school counselor is easy and a school counselor only needs ONE nomination in order to be part of the process. Please use and share the link below.
