2026 School Counselor of the Year

Congratulations Erin Curtis!

Hello! My Name is Erin Curtis, and I’m incredibly honored to be named School Counselor of the Year. It feels amazing—and honestly a little overwhelming in the best way!

Throughout my career as a school counselor, I’ve had the unique opportunity to work with students at every grade level—from kindergarteners just beginning their school journey to high schoolers preparing for life after graduation. Each stage has offered me meaningful moments to connect, guide, and support students and families through both challenges and triumphs. Today, I serve at the Shoshone Learning Center, an alternative high school, where I’m constantly inspired by the resilience and potential of my students. Every day, I strive to create a safe, supportive space where they can overcome obstacles, build confidence, and chart their own paths forward.  I’ve always rooted my practice in the ASCA National Model, using it as a framework to build comprehensive, student-centered programs that address academic, social-emotional, and career development in equitable and meaningful ways.

In addition to my work in schools, I’ve been privileged to serve on the Wyoming School Counseling Board for a total of six years. One of the highlights of that service was leading the planning of our annual state conference—a space where school counselors from across the state come together to learn, grow, and inspire one another. I’ve also had the opportunity to advocate for our profession through numerous statewide presentations, sharing best practices, raising awareness of the impact of school counselors, and helping to elevate the voice of our field in important educational conversations.

This recognition reflects not just my work, but the strength of the students I serve and the collaboration of the educators, families, and colleagues who support them. I believe deeply in the power of school counseling to change lives, and I’m committed to advocating for equitable access, meaningful connections, and comprehensive support for every student. Thank you again for this incredible honor—I'm truly grateful.
