Dr. Dawson is excited about her return to the Craven County Schools and is looking forward to serving and supporting the administrators, teachers, students, and the school community. Her personal philosophy is that all students can learn and we all have a responsibility to ensure our students receive a high-quality education. Help us welcome Dr. Dawson back to our school system family.

National School Counseling Week 2021, “School Counselors: All in for All Students,” sponsored by the American School Counselor Association (ASCA), will be celebrated from Feb. 1–5, 2021, to focus public attention on the unique contribution of school counselors within U.S. school systems and how students are different as a result of what school counselors do. National School Counseling Week highlights the tremendous impact school counselors can have in helping students achieve school success and plan for a career. We look forward to celebrating our school counselors and the invaluable support they provide to each of our schools. We hope you will join us during the week of Feb 1st-5th in this celebration.
