Ashley Rhodes of Clarke County High School began using Counselor's Office, part of WorkspaceK12 just this school year, but as she told the Clarke Times-Courier, it's already been a big help. On the occasion of National School Counseling Week, and in recognition of their work on behalf of the county's students, the Clarke Times-Courier named Ashley and the county's five other school counselors "Citizens of the Week". Read more about Ashley and her colleagues in "Guidance Counselors make a difference in Clarke County Schools" at the newspaper's website, TimesCommunity.com.
