Feb. 2-6 is National School Counseling Week, and we are proud to recognize and celebrate our counselors, alongside Director of Social Emotional Learning Lindsay Castro. They approach their work with compassion, professionalism and a deep commitment to what is best for students.
To celebrate the week, Richer Elementary School launched SEL Bingo, a fun, feel-good way to highlight the small yet powerful social-emotional learning moments occurring throughout the school for both students and staff. They also hosted a game of "Who's Who?" to help reintroduce their two counselors on a deeper level to the Richer staff and faculty.
Whether counselors across our district are assisting individual students, collaborating with teachers or helping families navigate challenges, their guidance, care and dedication contribute to creating welcoming learning environments. In these environments, students feel supported, encouraged and empowered to succeed. We are truly grateful for all that our counselors do!

#DYK that Marlborough High School has a Career Center? Through community partnerships, including one with Metro South/West Youth Connections, the Career Center helps students who #ChooseMHS discover job and internship opportunities, explore various careers and learn about resume writing, interviewing and online applications.
In the fall of 2025, Career Specialist Jacqueline Coyle and a select group of MHS students attended the inaugural MetroWest Youth Connections Healthcare & First Responders Career Expo at Solomon Pond Mall. They explored a wide range of healthcare roles, including different specialties, licenses and certifications. The students had the opportunity to meet local employers and learn about concrete next steps, such as internships, training programs and career pathways in the region.
"By being here, our students have been doing a great job at connecting with employers, networking, and putting themselves out there. Oftentimes, they hear so much about what happens after high school. But to really see it in person, and to see the companies, organizations and employers be just as invested in our youth as our youth are in their future, is really cool. So, I'm really proud of our students, and thanks to Youth Connections for this opportunity," said Ms. Coyle.
Check out our students' and Ms. Coyle's full video testimonies here.
