This Week Is National School Counseling Week

February 2nd through the 6th is National School Counseling Week, and the NOHS Counselors want to say how much we enjoy working with the students and parents of North Oconee.  Though this is a tough job many days, we go home satisfied and thankful for the opportunity to serve you all.  I hope that this week will cause you to reflect on how school counselors have been a benefit to you in your life whether it was through a timely word of encouragement when you were down, a boot to the backside when you were thinking about quitting, an important recommendation that helped you achieve your dreams of going to college or winning a scholarship, a helpful tip that allowed you to better study, a listening ear when your world was falling apart, or an observation about a strength that was seen in you that led you to a career choice.  Indeed, there is much help to be found in your counselor, and we hope that you will continue to count on us for all the the great services you have come to appreciate about this staff.  Have a great week!
