GUIDANCE COUNSELORS SERVE HUNDREDS

Since 1991, I've worked with guidance counselors at all five Norfolk public high schools in my position as scholarship administrator for The Norfolk Foundation.

I have the highest regard for the compassion, concern and advice these counselors offer their students. Since counselors each work with several hundred students, I'm amazed at the personal attention they offer. The counselors I know are tireless advocates for the students they serve.

Norfolk Public Schools is lucky to have the guidance counselors on its academic team.
