Hi, I’m Sherann Alkins!
As The Principal School Counselor, I am dedicated to amplifying the impact of school-linked and school-based counseling services by leveraging my expertise in educational leadership and student support. My core values center on empowering school counselors, ensuring every student receives holistic, data-driven guidance that aligns with your school and district mission.
I am passionate about this specific work because I believe in the transformative power of effective counseling within educational settings. My role extends beyond supporting school counselors to also include supporting school leaders and district teams in the systemic evolution of counseling practices.
As both an educational leader and social worker, I deeply value the unique knowledge and expertise that student support professionals bring to educational spaces. I firmly believe that effective coaching practices of school counseling teams, using the facilitative leadership model, must be integrated into broader educational strategies. My mission is to foster thriving, supportive environments for students at every level of the educational system.
My Why? This work is crucial because it bridges the gap between educational leadership and student support services, creating a more comprehensive and effective approach to student success. By elevating the role of school counselors and integrating their expertise into the fabric of educational leadership, we can create more responsive, inclusive, and supportive learning environments for all students.
