We were happy to represent our beloved state of Texas. And we re just excited to get this recognition. Our district and our leadership in our district work so hard to make sure our students have every opportunity to be successful in the future. said Dana Jackson, the district s Executive Director of Counseling Service and College Access. She oversees a team of 101 and believes collaboration among all leads to success. Nothing like this can be done in isolation. Counselors, social workers and college advisors work together as a team to not work in silos, but to see how we can support each other to make sure we are meeting our goal. And our goal is to make sure students are successful, she said.
