Welcome to CSCA!
President's Message
I hope everyone has settled into the new school year! It is with the greatest pleasure that I greet you as President of the Connecticut School Counselor Association.
Energized by the American School Counselor Association’s vision for state governing boards, last year was a year of transformation as CSCA leadership revised the Strategic Plan and the By-Laws for the association. It’s a whole new year and a whole new outlook on what we need to accomplish, and how we need to accomplish it. I hope you will join us on this exciting journey.

Briefing Document, April 29, 2009
“In a global economy, where the most valuable skill you can sell is your knowledge, a good education is no longer just a pathway to opportunity, it is a prerequisite.” (President Obama’s Address to Congress, February 24, 2009)
Message from the U.S. Department of Education
The Pathways to College Act, with bipartisan sponsorship, is a bill designed to aid low-income and first generation students in the transition into higher education by emphasizing the importance of school counseling in the career planning process. This bill will provide crucial grant funds to high need school districts to invest in school counseling services and increase students' access to postsecondary planning information.
