Appily announces 2026 High School Counselor of the Year
In honor of National School Counseling Week (#NSCW26), Appily [https://www.appily.com/] announced its 2026 Counselor of the Year Award winner and four honorable mentions, all selected based on student nominations.
Jackie Sutton is a guidance counselor and administrative assistant at Lima High School in Lima, Montana.
"When I first learned I'd been named Appily's 2026 Counselor of the Year, I was truly surprised and deeply humbled," Jackie Sutton explained. "Being nominated by my students means so much, and it reminded me that the one-on-one relationships I work hard to build every day matter to them as much as they matter to me."
Appily received a high volume of nominations from students across the country and recognized five counselors whose day-to-day support makes a real difference in students' academic planning, personal growth, and postsecondary confidence.
"School counselors do a thousand invisible things that help students keep going," said Yolanda Coleman, Director of Counselor Marketing. "These nominations made one thing obvious: students remember the moments when a counselor helped them feel safe, capable, and supported."
