CREST Award
-
The Counselors Reinforcing Excellence for Students award is given to schools around the state with exemplary counseling programs.
We are proud to recognize the 43 LISD schools that have received the Counselors Reinforcing Excellence for Students in Texas award for the 2024-25 school year. The award, otherwise known as CREST, is given to schools around the state with exemplary, comprehensive school counseling programs that are committed to improving the lives of students in the academic, career, and personal social domain.
To be considered for this award, campuses first went through a lengthy application process in the fall of this school year. The application gives counseling teams an opportunity to explain the design and implementation of the school counseling program over the course of a school year. It includes elements such as images, data points and existing resources like the yearly calendar of activities and more.
After submission, applications are evaluated by the Texas School Counselor Association CREST Evaluation Team composed of school counselors from around the state. “The criteria to receive the honor is reflective of the standard set by the Texas Counseling Association,” LISD Executive Director of Counseling and Social Work Services Monya Crow explained. “It means that a school counseling program is operating at best practice, serving its students, staff and community.”
Of the 43 LISD schools who were recognized by CREST for the 2024-25 school year, 41 of them have received the award in prior years.
