For their work and playing a major role in student achievement, school counselors were recently honored by leaders from Sampson County Schools.
Jennifer Daughtry, director of secondary education for the district, recognized them for National School Counseling Week, which is sponsored by the American School Counselor Association. The purpose of the observance, Feb. 3 through Feb. 7, is to recognize people who help students succeed in school.
“Schools honor their counselors who implement a comprehensive school plan,” Daughtry said. “It is a vital part of our educational process and I’m very grateful to work with great ladies who work with our students.”
The counselors received a special award from Superintendent Dr. Eric Bracy and Central Office officials during a recent board meeting.
