Cathy Westbury, a school counselor at Stanton Elementary, has been selected as the Elementary School Counselor of the Year for the state of Missouri.
“We are enormously proud of Cathy, her nationally recognized school counseling program, and her many talents and gifts,” says Matt Miller, principal.
Students, parents and staff spoke glowingly of the difference Cathy has made through her numerous student leadership opportunities, devotion to guidance curriculum, and efforts to curtail bullying.
“Cathy runs a superb school counseling program at Stanton,” says Dr. Sevier, director of Guidance and Counseling for Rockwood School District. “We look forward to nominating her for the national counselor of the year recognition.”
The Missouri School Counselor Association honors one elementary, middle and high school counselor each year as the top school counselors in the state. Nominations come from all parts of the State of Missouri and are evaluated and selected by the MSCA Professional Recognition committee. These outstanding professionals will be honored at the annual conference of the Missouri School Counselor Association in early November.
