The Lone Star Award is an award that recognizes effective and outstanding school counseling programs in the state of Texas. The Lone Star Award prepares school counselors to apply for the national ASCA RAMP award. The Lone Star Awards recognizes comprehensive counseling programs that are data-driven, developmentally appropriate, and delivered to all students with the goal of improving student outcomes, closing achievement and opportunity gaps, and preparing students for post-secondary success.
In 2016, the Lone Star State School Counselor Association developed a progressive awards system that includes three levels: Bronze, Silver and Gold. Each level is met with increased levels of rigor designed to elevate school counselor programs to national recognition through the American School Counselor Association, the RAMP award.
