Congratulations to Beth Conroy, 2025 Michigan School Counselor of the Year!
Beth Conroy, Mason High School Counselor, has been named the 2025 Michigan School Counselor of the Year by the Michigan School Counselor Association.
For the past three years, she has advocated at the building and district levels for a comprehensive school counseling program that allows counselors more time to offer direct services and support for students. She has also advocated at the state level by providing testimony regarding the bill that would make the FAFSA a mandatory graduation requirement and participating in Legislative Education Day. Her application will be forwarded to the American School Counselor Association for consideration for National School Counselor of the Year.
We are thankful for her contributions and proud to have her on our team at MPS!
