Awards

The Colorado School Counselor Association (CSCA) is the state division of the American School Counselor Association, and represents the more than 1,600 school counselors in the state of Colorado. Annually, we recognize the best professionals in our field including: an outstanding elementary, middle/junior high, high school, K-12 counselor, and counselor educator. We acknowledge each counselor for the quality of service he/she provides students, families, schools and districts in which he/she works. By nominating a school counselor in your building, you are giving a well-deserved tribute to a colleague.
