It’s National School Counseling Week, and Ohio County Schools is thanking Wheeling Park High School counselor Jill Maloney for her dedicated service to Patriot students. Maloney served as a mental health counselor for 21 years before becoming a counselor at Wheeling Park six years ago. She said one of her favorite parts of being a school counselor is developing a trusting relationship with a student. “It's amazing to watch a student learn about who they are, make steps to develop into who they want to be and know that they are cared about and supported,” Maloney said. “School counselors have the potential to really impact a student's personal growth, and that is such an important role.” Maloney said she loves Wheeling Park High School for a number of reasons, and she believes the school’s counselors are exceptional. “There are so many things I love about working at Park,” she said. “I love the energy of the students and the team that I work with. We all have different strengths, and we try to work off each other's strengths to make sure we are supporting our students. This team is in it for the right reasons, and that is important to me.” Photo: Wheeling Park High School Counselor Jill Maloney is shown with Patriot student Zariah Marling. #TogetherWeAchieve #expereinceTHEPARK #WVEd

It’s National School Counseling Week, and Ohio County Schools is thanking counselor Rebecca Broadwater for her dedicated service to the students of Steenrod and Madison elementary schools. Broadwater has been an Ohio County Schools counselor for seven years. She said she enjoys working with students one-on-one and teaching classroom social-emotional lessons. “It is so rewarding when students tell me how much it helped to share their feelings and experiences with me and knowing that I helped them to find success and happiness,” Broadwater said. “What I love most is helping our youngest students build skills for empathy, resilience and self-regulation through mindful movement and breathing.” Broadwater commended the staff members at both Steenrod and Madison. She said she is blessed to be a member of both teams. “Steenrod and Madison always support me and my counseling program,” Broadwater said. “We have worked hard to educate our students about the importance of good mental health and provide them with the tools necessary to cope with adversity in and out of the classroom.” Photo: Rebecca Broadwater, a counselor at both Steenrod and Madison elementary schools, is shown with Steenrod student Abigail Feukou. #TogetherWeAchieve #WVEd

It’s National School Counseling Week, and Ohio County Schools is thanking Wheeling Park High School counselor Emily Trifaro for her dedicated service to Patriot students. Trifaro has been a counselor at Wheeling Park High School for 12 years. She said she became a counselor because she believes she can help students in a number of ways. “I absolutely love getting to know my students and building relationships with them,” Trifaro said. “Being a trusted adult for my students in their time of need and empowering them to grow, achieve and develop resiliency by overcoming obstacles while in high school is the best part of my job, and it's why I do what I do.” Trifaro said she loves Wheeling Park High School because of all the amazing opportunities made available to Patriot students. She said those excellent opportunities extend beyond the classroom. “I love that WPHS has so much to offer our students,” Trifaro said. “ I continue to be amazed at what our career and technical students are able to learn while in high school - It's truly remarkable! From our academics, music and the arts, athletics, clubs, extracurriculars - our students are given opportunities to achieve at a very high level, and it's exciting to see them rise to the challenge.” Photo: Wheeling Park High School counselor Emily Trifaro is pictured with Patriot student Donovan Shanley. #TogetherWeAchieve #experienceTHEPARK #WVEd

It’s National School Counseling Week, and Ohio County Schools is thanking Triadelphia Middle School counselor Kathie Seidler for her dedicated service to Raider students. Seidler is in her first year as Triadelphia’s counselor, but she has been a member of the staff for five years. She said appreciates her role as a counselor because the students she helps are going through an important phase in their development. “When most people think of middle school, they think of how awkward and uncomfortable those years were,” Seidler said. “The kids are exploring who they are as they go through physical, emotional and social changes. Being a support for my students means the world to me. Working through the tough times and listening to their stories make the laughter harder, the smiles bigger and the pride stronger. I am constantly amazed by how smart, creative and funny our Raiders are.” Seidler has a special connection to Triadelphia Middle School, as she was once a Raider student. She said she looks forward to serving Triadelphia students in the years to come. “I have many ideas to serve our students and families,” Seidler said. “As a former student of Triadelphia, I am so honored to be a part of its future.” Photo: Triadelphia Middle School Counselor Kathie Seidler is pictured with Raider student John Gass. #TogetherWeAchieve #WVEd

Jones said helping students is what makes her job special. “Whether it is working through an emotional issue, discussing future plans or making a student's schedule work, I truly enjoy helping them,” Jones said. Jones said she has enjoyed working with the Wheeling Park students, and she believes Patriot staff members are committed to doing what is in the best interest of the students. “There’s a feeling of being a part of a team at Wheeling Park High School,” Jones said. “That doesn’t only apply to the counseling team, which is amazing, but to the entire staff. I have only been here a little over a year, but I am very happy to be a part of Wheeling Park High School.” Photo: Wheeling Park High School Counselor Betsy Jones is shown with Patriot student Brandashia Creighton. #TogetherWeAchieve #expereinceTHEPARK #WVEd
