Counselor's Corner

My job at Velasquez is to make sure that all of our students are academically and socially successful not only here at school but also in their personal home life. I work with students, teachers, administrators and parents to create a positive school experience and ensure our students are striving to be their best selves every day. I truly believe that being a school counselor is the best job on earth and I love every minute of it.

No Place For Hate

 Velasquez is a proud participant of
No Place for Hate® and continues to be for the
2023-2024 school year.

  

The No Place for Hate® initiative provides educators and students with the resources to ensure that anti-bias and diversity education are an integral part of the school curriculum. No Place for Hate® also helps to create and sustain inclusive school environments where all students feel valued and have the opportunity to succeed by promoting respect for individual difference while challenging bigotry and prejudice. Launched in schools in 2001, the popular initiative has been embraced by hundreds of campuses throughout the Southwest region, including many in the Houston, Austin/Central Texas and El Paso areas.
