    The Lincoln East High School Counseling Program received the Recognized ASCA Model Program (RAMP) designation at the ASCA Annual Conference in Boston, Massachusetts, July 3-6, 2010. Lincoln East, the first Nebraska school to receive this recognition, was honored along with 86 other K-12 schools for making an exemplary commitment to comprehensive school counseling programs.

    The RAMP designation, awarded to schools that align with the criteria set in the ASCA National Model, recognizes schools that are committed to delivering a comprehensive, data-driven school counseling program and an exemplary educational environment. More than 250 schools have received the RAMP designation since the program’s inception in 2003.

    Pat Nailor, ASCA’s 2009-10 president, said the recipients are to be commended for their dedication to serving all students and demonstrating how effective school counseling programs can make a difference in students’ lives. “This fall’s RAMP honorees have shown their commitment to students and the school counseling profession,” said Nailor. “This designation distinguishes these schools and encourages school counselors nationwide to continue to strive for success.”
