North Stokes High School

💚🎓 National School Counseling Week | February 2–6, 2026 🎓💚

This week, we are proud to celebrate and deeply appreciate our amazing school counselors at North Stokes High School!

National School Counseling Week recognizes the vital impact school counselors have on student success, academic planning, career readiness, and emotional well-being. Sponsored by the American School Counselor Association (ASCA), this year’s theme — “School Counselors Amplify Student Success” — could not be more fitting.

Our counselors go above and beyond every day to support our students through one-on-one counseling, classroom lessons, college and career guidance, and so much more. Their dedication, compassion, and commitment help shape confident, capable, and successful Vikings.

💚 Thank you for being advocates, listeners, motivators, and champions for our students. North Stokes is better because of you! 💚
