The Counselors Reinforcing Excellence for Students in Texas (CREST) Award is a top distinction from the Texas School Counselor Association.
The award celebrates the counselors who are passionately guiding and uplifting every student they serve, ensuring their campus counseling program prepares students to be college, career, and military ready while also prioritizing their mental health and personal growth. For counselors, it signifies:
Program Excellence: Official, statewide recognition that the counseling program meets the highest standards of the Texas Model.
Data-Driven Results: Proof that their guidance efforts measurably improve student academic, career, and personal-social development.
Leadership: Validation of their role as leaders and advocates who ensure the counseling program is vital to student success.
Continuous Improvement: A commitment to evaluating and refining their program for ongoing effectiveness.
Tonight we recognize counselors from four campuses who have received this award.
