MSCA

President's Letter

Dear Mississippi School Counselors, 
It is an honor and a privilege to serve as the Mississippi School Counseling Association's President.  I have the highest respect for the Mississippi Counseling Association and the counseling profession. These are concerning times, but as educators and counselors, we make the necessary changes to our school counseling program to serve our students during this COVID19 pandemic.  Our culture is ever-changing, and preparing and presenting goals for the year that correspond to those changes is necessary. Our schools' counseling leadership is vital to help all of our students' academic, social, emotional, college, and career needs. Advocating for our vocation is necessary to continue to grow as an organization and educate our community and stakeholders on how school counselors make a difference with student success. I want to thank all of our MSCA and MCA leaders who have served this year. These counselors are excellent at what they do in their workplace and have always stepped up to any request.

Please mark your calendar for the MSCA Virtual Spring Workshop on February 19, 2021. We are so excited to have Dr. Russell Sabella as our guest speaker. Our topics include solution-focused brief counseling, small groups, technology tips, and reaching and teaching students remotely.  We will continue to let you know about the workshop and when to sign up.  There is no fee to attend if you are an MSCA member, and you can earn CEU's.

My goal as the MSCA President is to bring a positive impact for all counselors in our state and strive to continue building our profession to be a voice that many need to hear. I want to encourage you to continue to learn new skills, so you are up to date with your students' needs and find creative ways to promote your school counseling program.

Sincerely,

Heather Norton
