Nashville, Tennessee - Affirming the faculty’s dedication to students’ academic, career and personal development, Hillsboro High School picked up two major awards from the American School Counselor Association (ASCA) and Tennessee School Counselor Association (TSCA).
Hillsboro is the second school in Tennessee and one of just a handful of schools in the country to ever earn the Recognized ASCA Model Program (RAMP) designation. This is an honor given only to exemplary counseling programs that reach every corner of school life and make data-driven decisions to improve education for all students.
“This year’s RAMP honorees have shown their commitment to students and the school counseling profession,” said Jill Cook, assistant director and RAMP coordinator for ASCA. “This designation distinguishes these schools and encourages school counselors nationwide to continue to strive for success.”
“We are so pleased with the work of the school counseling department at Hillsboro High School,” said Nicole Cobb, executive director of school counseling services for Metro Schools. “The counseling team is ensuring that all students have access to a rigorous academic experience that will prepare them academically, socially and emotionally for college and career. They help students plan for a bright and fulfilling future. They serve as a model not only for other Metro schools but schools across the state of Tennessee and the country.”
