This week is National School Counseling Week and recognition is being given to an often overlooked group dedicated to supporting students.
A proclamation by Governor Josh Shapiro is meant to reinforce the importance of these professionals in the lives of young people.
In the Butler Area School District 13 school counselors advocate for kids, provide guidance, and help families navigate challenging circumstances.
In addition to supporting students academically, counselors also assist with mental health situations and charting a course for life after school.
