UISD proudly celebrated National School Counseling Week by bringing together our incredible counselors from elementary, middle, and high school campuses for a special meeting focused on connection, collaboration, and appreciation. This year’s theme, “Counselors: Amplifying Student Success,” highlights the vital role counselors play in supporting students academically, socially, and emotionally, as well as guiding them in college and career readiness.

During the event, counselors engaged in meaningful discussions, asked thoughtful questions, and received important updates on upcoming initiatives, including virtual learning opportunities and the comprehensive guidance program. We were also honored to welcome district leaders and community partners who joined us to express their gratitude and recognize the dedication, compassion, and hard work our counselors demonstrate every day.

UISD counselors truly are the heart of our schools, providing essential support to students and families while helping ensure every student has the tools and guidance needed to succeed. Thank you to the Director of Guidance and Counseling Melissa C. Ramirez and her amazing team!
