First initiated during the 2021-2022 school year, SCsNEPA recognizes a local school counselor each school year who has gone above and beyond for his or her students. Applications are received in the form of letters of recognition from building administrators and faculty. Letters detailing the activities of a counselor, teams they participate in, initiatives they lead, and impact they make on students and the school community as a whole are typically seen as exemplary.
