Bill > HJRes148

This resolution expresses Congress's support for designating the week of February 2, 2026, through February 6, 2026, as "National School Counseling Week" to honor and recognize the vital contributions of school counselors in elementary and secondary schools across the United States. It highlights that school counselors are essential professionals trained in both education and social-emotional development, who guide students in their academic, social-emotional, and career development, help them prepare for college and careers, and support them through personal challenges and trauma. The resolution also acknowledges the current challenges faced by school counselors, such as high student-to-counselor ratios that exceed recommended levels and the vulnerability of counseling positions during budget cuts, and encourages the public to observe this week with activities that raise awareness of the crucial role counselors play in preparing students for successful lives and contributions to society.
