Here at Preston County Schools, we're a team. Every team needs a strong anchor, and our counselors provide that not only for our students, but also in assisting our staff. We're all better off for the work that they do, day in and day out, and beyond the regular week. Your efforts don't go unnoticed. You all are truly making a difference and we thank you, this week, and all the weeks.
