The Arizona School Counselors Association promotes our profession, supports school counselors through resources and professional networking, and through demonstrating our ethical practices, professional partnerships with parents, staff and community while developing evidence based national model implementation in all schools, and to assist/ support students in their academic experiences, college/ career preparation, and social/ emotional development.
School Counselor of the Year:
Nominate an outstanding school counselor for the prestigious AzSCA School Counselor of the Year Award! The nomination takes just a few minutes and is an important way that our professional organization can honor the great work of school counselors in our state.
Rising Star:
The Rising Star Award recognizes AzSCA members who are new to the field (1-4 years) and are starting to make a difference at their school or in the profession. The applicant’s record must reflect exceptional growth, commitment, and increasing levels of responsibility or leadership. Applicants must demonstrate they are on a trajectory for making a lasting impact on their school, students, or community, or demonstrate promise for contributing to the school counseling profession.
Advocate of the Year:
We recognize that individuals do not necessarily need to be a school counselor to support and advance the profession, which is why we encourage our members to nominate for Advocate of the Year. Individuals who have shown exemplary support of school counseling services, outstanding promotion of school counseling services, implementation of new/additional school counseling services, and/or improvement of existing school counseling services are excellent candidates for this award. The purpose of the Advocate of the Year Award is to recognize persons who have demonstrated their belief in and support of school counseling programs and who have made an impact on the local, state, or national level.

Counselors in the Community
We know that many of you, in addition to the important work you do every day as school counselors, share your expertise and insights in a variety of venues. It could be starting an initiative at your school, presenting at an educational conference, or even being interviewed for a news story or podcast.
We want to make sure that your fellow AzSCA members know about the good work you are doing representing our profession.
If you have an interesting program that you or your team have launched, best practices to share, or news about outreach you've made in the community, please take a moment to let us know by clicking the button below.
