The American School Counselor Association (ASCA) is pleased to announce Hernando Middle School in Hernando, Miss., as a Recognized ASCA Model Program (RAMP) school.
The RAMP designation, awarded for aligning with the criteria in the ASCA National Model, recognizes schools that are committed to delivering a comprehensive, data-driven school counseling program and an exemplary educational environment. This year 104 schools from 27 states will receive this designation.
“This year’s RAMP honorees have shown their commitment to students and the school counseling profession,” said Jill Cook, ASCA assistant director. “These schools used data to drive their program development and implementation so all students can achieve success. RAMP designation distinguishes these schools and encourages school counselors nationwide to strive for excellence.”
All RAMP schools will be honored at a recognition ceremony at ASCA’s annual conference in Denver on July 10 for making an exemplary commitment to comprehensive school counseling programs.
RAMP applications are reviewed by teams of school counseling professionals. The next submission deadline is October 15. For more information on the program, visit www.schoolcounselor.org/ramp.
