Our last National School Counseling Week spotlight is Ms. Nina Woodall. Nina Woodall has been a counselor in Springdale schools for over 30 years. She has served the students of GJHS as school counselor for six years. When asked why being a school counselor is important she said, “School counselors listen. We listen to student, parent, staff concerns. We help facilitate identifying concern(s) and setting realistic goal steps in addressing those concern(s). We do NOT tell anyone how to think or feel, but rather guide them to be able to identify and understand the thing(s) keeping them from success in getting more of what they want - whether that is better grades, better relationships, better self-esteem, better well-being, etc.- making a plan and taking action. For me, being a counselor is not just a career path. It is a calling that comes from a higher place than myself. It enables me to be a part of a village of educators working collaboratively to meet the needs of our students, parents, staff and community. For this, I am most blessed.” We are so lucky to have Ms. Woodall at GJHS! Thank you for all that you do for our students! WE LOVE MS. WOODALL!
