2026 School Counselor of the Year Award Ceremony Presented by the Florida Lottery

Join us for a celebratory event honoring the Winner of the Inaugural Florida TaxWatch School Counselor of the Year Award, Presented by the Florida Lottery. They are making a measurable difference in their school, their community, and the future of Florida’s students.
School counselors carry an outsized share of a student’s trajectory — academic performance, college and career readiness, and emotional well-being all run through their work, often with little public recognition. This award changes that by identifying the counselors producing the strongest measurable results for their students.
