SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 53
WHEREAS, The observance of National School Counselor Week
from February 1 through 7, 2021, provides a fitting opportunity
to recognize professional school counselors across Texas; and
WHEREAS, These outstanding individuals are employed in
public and private schools throughout the state, and they hold

encourage students to explore their abilities, interests,
talents, emotional well-being, and mental health; and
WHEREAS, School counselors work closely with teachers,
principals, and other campus personnel to guide students through
the process of setting goals for themselves; in addition,
counselors engage with parents to support the educational,
personal, social, and emotional growth of their children; and

identify and utilize community resources to enhance
comprehensive counseling programs; an integral part of the
educational process, these programs enable students to succeed
and become productive members of society; and
WHEREAS, Devoted to the development of our young people,
professional school counselors are helping to ensure that the
future of the Lone Star State rests in capable hands, and they are
indeed deserving of special recognition for their invaluable
work; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 87th
