From the Community: Why this Nominee Stands Out

“As the College and Career Counselor, Rebecca is a force multiplier whose impact extends far beyond traditional advising. She empowers both students and the broader recruiting team by serving as a bridge between opportunity and access. Rebecca leads with authenticity and connection, students don’t just see her as a counselor; they see her as a living example of what’s possible when college and career programs are leveraged to their fullest. Her personal story and commitment resonate deeply with Gen Z students, fostering meaningful relationships that drive engagement and motivation.

Rebecca champions the district’s CTE pathways and CCAP dual enrollment programs with energy and conviction. She doesn’t simply promote these opportunities, she actively works to enhance them, collaborating with the district coordinator to ensure they evolve in ways that reflect student needs. Her advocacy ensures that every student feels seen, heard, and supported.

Her people-first approach, rooted in empathy and equity, has cultivated a school culture where students thrive and staff feel inspired to innovate. By representing student voices and pushing for inclusive, forward-thinking programs, Rebecca has built not just stronger connections with students, but a stronger foundation for their futures.”
