Alice ISD Board Honors School Counselors with Luncheon, Gifts and Video

The Alice Independent School District Board of Trustees formally recognized and honored the district’s school counselors as part of National School Counseling Week, local coverage carried the headline "Alice ISD Board Honors Counselors During National School Counseling Week" when the Alice Echo News Journal published a piece on Feb. 17, 2026. The board recognition was highlighted by the district in a social-media post that thanked counseling staff for their work supporting students’ emotional and mental health needs.

Alice ISD posted on its official Facebook page with the line, "As part of National Counseling Week, we proudly express our appreciation for all of our counselors at Alice ISD." The district’s Student Services Director Liana Tavarez and Superintendent Dr. Anysia Trevino were named in the post as the leaders offering thanks, and the post included the verbatim praise: "Student Services Director Liana Tavarez and Superintendent Dr. Anysia Trevino thanked them for the compassion, guidance, and support they provide every day to meet our students’ emotional and mental health needs. We truly appreciate all that you do!"

The Facebook post specified how the district celebrated its counselors: "To celebrate, the counselors were treated to a luncheon and small token along with a heartwarming thank you video." The post carried the timestamp "February 5 at 10:22 AM" as shown in the capture, listed "All reactions: 22," noted that "Alice Independent School District limited who can comment on this post," and included the hashtag "#CharacterLeadershipAcademicsService."

The Alice Echo News Journal item with the Feb. 17, 2026 publication date displayed the headline "Alice ISD Board Honors Counselors During National School Counseling Week" but its full text was behind a paywall and not visible in the captured page. An internal summary of the event also appears in the original report fragment stating the Board "formally recognized and honored the district’s school counselors" and that the local piece was published Feb. 17, 2026; that fragment ends mid-sentence.

The district post and the paywalled coverage did not list several specifics that would clarify the board action: the capture did not provide the date of the Board of Trustees meeting where recognition occurred, whether a formal resolution or proclamation was adopted, the number or names of counselors recognized, a description of the "small token," or the creators and public availability of the "heartwarming thank you video." The Facebook post and the Feb. 17 headline confirm formal recognition and leadership appreciation, and the explicit reference to counselors meeting students’ "emotional and mental health needs" underscores the role school counselors play in local student health supports.
