Title Change from GUIDANCE COUNSELOR to SCHOOL COUNSELOR
In 2012, The American School Counseling Association recommended the title change from Guidance Counselor to School Counselor which recognizes the shift in the role of the School Counselor in Schools. School Counselors help students with academic, social/emotional and planning their futures.
