The American School Counselor Association (ASCA) is a national nonprofit that supports school counselors’ efforts to help students focus on academic, personal, social and career development. ASCA’s RAMP designation recognizes schools that are committed to delivering a comprehensive, data-driven school counseling program, and creating an exemplary educational environment.

“The expertise and dedication of the Adams City High School counselors translates to exceptional services for our students,” said Dr. Susan Chandler, Adams 14 Superintendent. “This recognition by the American School Counselor Association truly highlights the efforts of our outstanding counselors, who go above and beyond to ensure all of our students build strong foundations that lead to lifelong success.”

The ACHS counseling department – Shannon Holtmann, Kim McKenna, Carolyn Quayle and Janelle Winders – applied to be a RAMP school in the fall of 2010. ACHS is now only one of seven schools in Colorado to have received this coveted designation.
