Summary
At a board meeting, Cullman County Schools recognized six school counselors with the Alabama School Counseling Program of Distinction Award; the counselors are now eligible for a national-level award, district officials said.
Dr. Barnett, superintendent, recognized a group of school counselors at a Cullman County Schools board meeting and said they have been awarded the Alabama School Counseling Program of Distinction and are eligible for a national-level “Grama” award.
"As many of y'all know, the role of a counselor has evolved over the last few years more than ever. And we're very thankful for this group of educators," Dr. Barnett said, introducing the honorees. He said the award "represents years of dedication, collaboration, and intentional work to build a comprehensive school counseling program that truly serves students and families."
The district listed the counselors and their schools as: Tiffany Davis, Cole Springs Elementary; Amy Kenny, Cole Springs High; Laura Rankhorn, Good Hope Middle; Maddie Looney, Good Hope Primary School; Jessica Reeves, Hansville Elementary (not present at the meeting); and Kelly Scott, West Point Intermediate. Dr. Barnett said recipients completed a series of trainings and lessons to demonstrate the capabilities required for the distinction.
Board members and district staff praised the group for the accomplishment. "It's a great accomplishment," Dr. Barnett added.
The district did not provide monetary awards connected to the recognition at the meeting, and no formal board action was recorded for the recognition beyond the public acknowledgment.
