Happy School Counselor Appreciation Week! 🎓💙

This week, we celebrate the incredible counselors who make Graduate Arkansas a place where every student can find their path forward. Nikecia Fuller and Darrian Dixon are advocates, encouragers, and champions for student success.

Whether helping navigate academic challenges, exploring career options, planning for life after graduation, or providing support during difficult times, our counselors show up every day committed to helping students ages 14-21 reach their full potential.

To our Graduate Arkansas counseling team: Thank you for your dedication, your compassion, and your unwavering belief in our students. The impact you make extends far beyond transcripts and schedules—you are changing lives and opening doors to brighter futures.

Students and families: Take a moment this week to share your appreciation for the counselors who support you! 💚
