A year after Parkhill’s Kelly Mountjoy was the 2023 Texas School Counselor of the Year<\/a>, two RISD counselors advanced far in the state competition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Katie Sanders of Arapaho Classical Magnet was RISD’s elementary counselor of the year, and she made it to the semifinals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
