Leading Our Profession with PSSCA

Welcome New Emerging Leaders

Palmetto State School Counselor Association is so excited to have the new members of our School Counseling Emerging Leaders (SCEL) program work and learn with our state leaders! Congratulations!

 
The PSSCA SCEL program is for individuals with a burning desire to make an impact in the school counseling profession above and beyond their own community. Those chosen to participate in the program are innovators, advocates, and visionaries to whom others turn for leadership and decision making. We are proud to announce the Emerging Leaders for 2024–2025: Jessica Thomas, Bethany Negoski and Tessa Harrill.
