Parish President Archie Chaisson has proclaimed this week February 3 – 7, 2025 as National School Counseling Week!
School counselors are actively committed to helping students explore their abilities, strengths, interests, and talents as these traits relate to career awareness and development. Counselors help families focus on ways to further the academic, career, and social/emotional development of their children. They work with teachers and other educators to help students explore their potential and set realistic goals for themselves. School counselors seek to identify and utilize community resources that can enhance and complement comprehensive school counseling programs and help students become productive members of society. Comprehensive developmental school counseling programs are considered an integral part of the educational process that enables all students to achieve success in school. Lafourche Parish Government would like to thank all the School Counselors who serve in our community every day.
