What is National School Counseling Week?
Welcome! National School Counseling Week is celebrated each year during the first full week of February. This special week highlights the important role school counselors play in supporting students academically, socially, emotionally, and as they plan for their futures.
The 2026 theme, “School Counselors Amplify Student Success,” reflects how school counselors help strengthen student confidence, amplify student voices, and support growth at every stage of development—from kindergarten through graduation.
Throughout this week, families are invited to watch a short daily video sharing how our school counseling program supports all students. Each video highlights a different aspect of student success and how school counselors partner with students, families, and staff to help every child thrive.
