## Summary

**National School Counseling Week** would be designated for February 2–6, 2026 to honor school counselors and encourage ceremonies and activities that highlight their work. It emphasizes counselors' role in guiding students' academic, social-emotional, and career development, boosting college and STEM awareness, supporting students facing bullying, trauma, or family military deployment, and raises concern that the national student-to-counselor ratio is about 376-to-1 versus the recommended 250-to-1.
