The Fayette County School Counselors Association has named the 2019 Fayette County School Counselor of the Year for the elementary and high school levels, as well as the Advocate of the Year.
Mesha Bolton of Sara Harp Minter Elementary and Kelly Floyd of Whitewater High are the counselors of the year for elementary and high schools. There was no middle school winner this year.
In addition to naming the school counselors of the year, the Fayette County School Counselors Association also recognizes a person outside of school counseling who has contributed to the success of school counselors throughout the county. This year’s advocate is Career and Technical Education Director Lisa Collins.
The Fayette County School Counselor of the Year award honors the best of the best, counselors who are running a top-notch, comprehensive school counseling program at their schools. Nominations for the award are made by fellow counselors, and are based upon the recognition of qualities that include the counselor’s effectiveness, dedication to the position, and the level of support the individual provides to students. Counselors also submit nominations for the person they feel deserves to be named the advocate of the year.
