They will be honored on May 11, 2017 at the Employee Recognition Dinner.

Brazosport ISD has a total of 35 outstanding school counselors across the district. This year, we had the opportunity to give special recognition to an elementary counselor and a secondary counselor as Counselors of the Year. Counselors across the district were asked to vote for the counselor they felt exemplifies the role of school counselor. School counselors must demonstrate attributes and qualities of supporting students in the areas of career, personal/social and academic development of students, leadership, advocacy, collaboration, service to school and community and have the highest levels of professional and personal ethical standards.
