Expressing support for designation of the week of February 2, 2026, through February 6, 2026, as "National School Counseling Week".
Summary
H.J.Res. 148 is a binding joint resolution that would officially designate the week of February 2 through February 6, 2026, as National School Counseling Week. The resolution, introduced by Representative Linda T. Sánchez (D-CA), is currently under committee consideration and has not yet been voted on by the full House.
If enacted, this resolution would recognize and honor the work of school counselors across the nation during that designated week. As a binding joint resolution, it would have the force of law, though its practical impact would be primarily symbolic—establishing a formal national recognition rather than creating new programs or funding. The designation would serve to highlight the important role school counselors play in supporting student academic, social, and emotional development.
