KSCA President Kris Burkholder

Greetings School Counselors:
I feel very honored to serve as President of KSCA this year and to have the privilege of
working with so many dedicated, hard working and committed professional school counselors
across the state of Kansas. I truly believe that professional school counselors in Kansas are
strongly committed to their work and profession. We are committed to addressing the social
and emotional needs of our students, committed to improving the academic performance of
ALL students, committed to assisting our students as they consider educational and career
options, committed to reducing the barriers to learning, and committed to providing our
students with the best interventions and services possible.
As we begin another school year, let’s not forget to celebrate the value and the importance of
the day-to-day work we all do in our efforts to meet the needs of each child and to assist each
child every day. George Eliot once said, “What do we live for if not to make life less difficult
for each other?’’ How fortunate as professional school counselors to be able to have so
many opportunities each day to make life less difficult for others!
This year, KSCA is celebrating 41 years of service to school counselors. KSCA is committed
to supporting and enhancing excellence in professional school counseling at all educational
levels by supporting school counselors, as well as advocating for the school counseling
profession both locally and nationally.
Have a great school year, celebrate the profession of school counseling, celebrate being a
KSCA member, and celebrate YOUR role in the lives of others as a professional school
counselor.
Remember, it takes only one school counselor...
