3. Thomas Horace Rogers School Counseling Program Assessment
Thomas Horace Rogers School is among the top-rated schools in
America, and it is both a primary and secondary public school
their main color is white and orange. The school is located on
5840 San Felipe Dr in Houston, Texas. The schools perform
better in terms of their grades, and that is evident since it is
among the well-recognized school in the United States. The
school is categorized as a public high school, and according to
journals and magazines, it is ranked among the top 25 best
performing public schools in the Houston area. The number of
students in T.H Rogers School ranges from 929-950 according
to 2016 statistics. From the school management perception, they
love parents or even guardians always getting involved in their
children’s academic teachings.
T.H Rogers School has two counselors for both middle school
and elementary school DR. La Dora Matthews is in charge of
the counseling department in the middle school while DR.
Karen Martinez is in charge of the elementary school counseling
department. Both the two counselors in T.H Rogers School work
towards offering the students psychological care that will boost
them in terms of their academic levels. The counselors also
teach students that equality is important which has played a
significant part in promoting equality in the school regardless
of race, gender or social status.
Alignment with ASCA
Generally, school counselors can be defined as certified

4. educators in school counseling. Their roles are specifically to
educate students concerning their academic careers, their
emotional and social lives to improve their academic success.
School counselors can be found in all levels of schools
including elementary school, high schools as well as middle or
junior schools (Kourkoutas & Giovazolias, 2015). According to
research school counselors play a vital role in schools in terms
of maximizing student's success. They work with students to
help them overcome the troubles they are undergoing through
that hinder their success academically.
American School Counsellor Association developed the school
counseling program to help students, administrators, parents as
well as teachers and the community in general. According to
ASCA policies, counseling programs should be applied in a
student educational program, school counselors, on the other
hand, should collaborate to help the student perform better
academically or socially. T.H Rogers School has proved to
apply for the ASCA counseling program in their school
effectively (Carey & Martin, 2017). Their counseling program
involves peer meditation counseling, guidance lessons,
individual counseling, small groups counseling, referrals, and
consultation, IAT as well as parent events.
During peer meditation, counselors train students on how to
handle conflicts between themselves positively and peacefully.
During guidance lessons, the T.H Rogers school counselors give
students guidance lessons addressing their emotional and social
needs for them to develop academic success and be ready for
further education success as well. Today’s school counsellors
are different compared to the past where they would sit around
in office chairs handling or rather making programmes for
students who wanted to drop out in schools or handling school
applications (Tiffany Chenier 2019). In the contemporary world
school counselors play a different role including the fact that
they are involved in education systems. T.H Rogers School
counselors are beneficial to students since they help them make
decisions academically; they help students emotionally as well

5. as socially. Besides, school counselors also help students
become more productive in preparing them for tomorrow’s
future.
During individual counseling in T.H Rogers School the
counselor's counsel students especially those that are
undergoing difficulties that are impacting them negatively
academically. Generally, in schools’ students face a lot of
problems some problems are even dragged along from their
respective homes. The challenges can affect a student's
emotionally and socially which can be reflected from their
academic performances in schools. Among the common
problems resolved by school, counselors include a student
having low learning capabilities, a student from low-income
family may also have a problem socially comparing her life with
other students. Also, a student may have experienced abuse
either emotionally or even sexually and finally when a student
has a specific addiction he or she is trying to overcome. In
those cases, a school counselor will effectively collaborate with
the student, parents, the concerned teachers, medical
professionals as well as the school leaders to help the student
by identifying and addressing the problem.
In small groups, T.H Rogers counselors typically try and
respond to students concerns. The concerns may be related to
their studying skills, their connections with friends as well as
changes and many more. Currently, the school has introduced a
new program whereby the 5th-grade executive group has to meet
at least once in a week planning on how they should rehearse
time and organization managing skills. Counselors have in plan
for upper elementary students to get involved in conversation
café which is a small group that is meant to encourage them and
improve their self-esteem, their critical thinking as well as
support them to practice positive communication. During
referrals, counselors give community agencies referrals
especially for those families that are dealing with chaos,
violence as well as chronic illnesses. In consultation, the
counselors meet up with parents intending to discuss their

6. academic performances. The counselor generally acts as a
student advocate. During IAT the counselors create teams which
support administrators, parents students made up of teachers as
well as other school stakeholders. In parent events, this is when
the counselor's department hold informational sessions and
parent workshops countering to various needs of the school
community (Castro et al. 2015).
The whole program of ASCA aligns with T.H Rogers School
counseling program since they aim to improve student’s success
in all angels. The counselors equally believe in all students’
potential to be successful. Also, the counselors align with the
policy which mentions that privacy should be honored by
adhering to the ethical standards since they have individual
counseling. Also, in T.H Rogers counseling programme, the
counselors provide counseling to students who need long term
counseling sessions. Also, another way the school counseling
department aligns with ASCA is by offering IAT counseling
services whereby the counselors have chosen to offer support to
administrators’ students and even any involved stakeholder of
the school generally, T.H Rogers School most programmes align
with the ASCA policies.
Recommendations for Improvements
Assessing T.H Rogers School counseling programs, there are
basic areas which from a personal perspective need
improvement to make sure that the schools counseling and
guidance programmes effectively give students the counsel they
need to imply a positive impact in their academic and social
lives. The problems or rather challenges were identified during
an interview with DR. Karen who is the head department in
counseling of the elementary school. One of the challenges is
gender issues, most of the students especially male students
prefer opening up to a counselor who is of the same gender as
the students and considering that both elementary and middle-
class counselor are both females then it becomes a challenge.
There DR. Karen mentions in the interview that it is only fair of
the administration of T.H Rogers School looked for a solution

7. which would be involving male counselors in the counseling
department for both elementary and middle-class students.
The second challenges DR. Karen mentioned during the
interview are suicide. Students who undergo emotional abuse or
physical abuse end up opting for suicide to end the pain which
has happened not only once in T.H Rogers Schools says, Dr.
Karen. Bullying or any abuse should be discouraged at all
angels and the best thing a counselor is to notice any unusual
behavior from a student and communicate to the students of the
concern. In this case best to connect the student with his or her
parents as well as the community resources that will encourage
the student to get rid of the self-harm thoughts, ideas as well as
feelings.
Conclusion
T.H Rogers School is among the few schools that offer to
counsel to their students often which is a good thing since
students no longer have to make decisions on their own since
there are counselors to help them in that. Even though there are
a few areas they need to improve on the counseling has brought
great change for the students in T.H Rogers. Other schools
should embrace such a culture since the whole community at
large also benefits from the counsel including teachers, parents
and the administration at large.
