This week, we celebrate National School Counseling Week. In USD 430, we are blessed with three dedicated individuals who support the students and staff of their buildings and our district as a whole. School counselors play a vital role in ensuring every student feels supported, heard, and guided. They are a steady, guiding force in students’ education and life journey—helping them navigate challenges, build confidence, and plan for the future. We are grateful for the impact our counselors make every day.
