Happy National School Counseling Week to our BCSD Counseling Team! Berlin Central School would like to celebrate and acknowledge the dedicated Berlin CSD counseling staff who provide daily support, guidance, encouragement and resources to our Mountaineer community.

“School counselors work with all students to remove barriers to learning by addressing students’ academic concerns, career options and social/emotional skills,” said Jill Cook, American School Counselor Association, executive director. “School counseling programs help to increase student achievement and provide a much-needed resource for students, parents, teachers and administrators. School counselors are integral to student success.”

BCSD’s team of counselors work collaboratively to provide a continuously nurturing environment that empowers every Mountaineer to individually thrive. They are a crucial part to the district’s day to day operations and provide enriching opportunities for student growth.

Please join BCSD in sharing your gratitude for our Mountaineer Counseling Team during National School Counseling week!.
