National School Counseling Week (NSCW) is an annual celebration dedicated to recognizing the unique contributions of school counselors within U.S. school systems. It highlights the impact they have in helping students achieve academic success and plan for their futures. NWCW is held the first full week of February--February 2-6, 2026.
This week, Wise County Public Schools joins school districts across the nation to celebrate National School Counseling Week. Our school counselors are the heartbeat of our student support systems, working tirelessly to ensure that every student is seen, heard, and empowered.
This year’s theme, ‘School Counselors Amplify Student Success,’ perfectly captures the essential role these professionals play. Beyond academic scheduling, our counselors are trained mental health leaders who bridge the gap between home and school, helping students navigate social-emotional challenges and chart their paths toward future careers.
We invite our entire community to take a moment this week to thank a counselor for the profound impact they have on our students’ lives today and their successes tomorrow.
