They are dedicated, hard-working, kind, and always have the best interest of students at heart. Some school counselors are being recognized for all they do supporting students on a daily basis with the 2025 “Jordy Awards.” This is a districtwide, counselor nominated award and the nominees are voted on by school counselors as well.
Congratulations to the following school counselors. Read some of what colleagues had to say about them:
