National School Counseling Week (Feb. 2–6, 2026) celebrates the critical role school counselors play in helping students thrive—academically, socially, and emotionally. This year’s theme, “School Counselors: Amplify Student Success,” reflects the powerful influence these professionals have on student outcomes and well-being.
At the Wilson Talent Center, counselors Erin Falsetta and Pam Kunkel-Chappell go above and beyond every day to support Career & Technical Education (CTE) students. Their work includes helping students navigate rigorous coursework, apply for colleges or skilled trades programs, complete scholarships, and plan for life beyond high school. Whether students pursue an Early College pathway, the workforce, or a four-year university, these counselors are there every step of the way.
But their impact stretches far beyond transcripts. They provide a safe space during stressful moments, connect families with vital resources, and make sure each student feels seen, heard, and supported.
Across Ingham ISD, school counselors in every building are creating meaningful relationships and making long-term differences in the lives of learners. Their compassion, expertise, and commitment open doors to real-world opportunities—and help students confidently walk through them.
Please join us in thanking Erin, Pam, and all school counselors across our region for the guidance, encouragement, and care they provide every day.
