Happy National School Counseling Week! 💙 We are honored to share the voices of three Irving ISD counselors who show up every day for students and families in ways that often go unseen. Their stories reflect the heart of school counseling, which led them to be nominated by the Lone Star State School Counselor Association as semi-finalists and finalist! 🏆 Happy to have you inspiring and uplifting our Irving ISD students to excellence!
