Salute to Guidance Counselors

Rock Hill Schools would like to salute its talented, compassionate and resourceful guidance counselors. This week is National Counseling Week and the focus is on the unique contribution of professional school counselors within U.S. school systems. Counselors help students solve personal problems; assist in getting scholarship aid; and help families in need. To each counselor in our schools, THANK YOU for the valued role you play in the lives of our students.
