Message from Assistant Superintendent Secondary Education,
Dan Newell
“Having worked in the schools for 34 years, there is no question that counselors have the ability and the mission to positively impact the lives of all students, from the most vulnerable to the most fortunate. I
believe that all kids need to be supported in becoming, college, career and life-ready.
School counselors are central to that work in our schools.”
