Midway Heights Elementary School Receives National Recognition for School Counseling

The Midway Heights Elementary School counseling program has been nationally recognized by the American School Counselor Association (ASCA) as model program and was awarded the Recognized ASCA Model Program (RAMP) designation for 2024 for successfully demonstrating how the school’s comprehensive school counseling programs benefit all students.

The RAMP designation, awarded to schools that align with the criteria set in the ASCA national model, recognizes schools that are committed to delivering a comprehensive, data-driven school counseling program and an exemplary educational environment. A total of 138 schools nationwide received the 2024 designation.

School counselors submit evidence of the impact their program has on support of student achievement, connection to the mission and goals of the school, use of data to drive decisions, and collaboration with stakeholders (parents, students, and administrators) to receive input and evaluate their school counseling program’s effectiveness. RAMP applications are reviewed once a year by a panel of school counseling professionals and the designation is held for five years.

Midway Heights Elementary School will be honored during a special ceremony at the ASCA Annual Conference in Kansas City, Mo., in July for making an exemplary commitment to their school counseling programs.
