RCS Coordinated School Health will be sharing a series of “Spotlight on School Counselor” articles across the district. These spotlights are meant to recognize our amazing school counselors and their dedication to making a positive impact on student outcomes. Students who have access to active, engaged school counselors are often better equipped mentally, socially, and academically—and tend to have a clear plan for their next steps in schooling, career, and life. Our school counselors serve as the calm in the storm—leading, guiding, and supporting students through the challenges they face each day. RCS Coordinated School Health would like to recognize Oliver Springs Middle School Counselor, Ms. Ashley Loy, for her dedication and outstanding work in supporting her students and school community! Thanks for all you do!!
