Ms. Coughlin was named the Delaware School Counselor of the Year. Her contributions as a school counselor can be seen through her service to her school and district. Kirsten goes outside of her role by planning staff holiday parties, reviewing applications for new students, supporting the co-op coordinator with eligibility concerns, contacting colleges and universities to visit, and supporting FAFSA completion.

It gives me great pleasure to leave a comment for Kirsten Coughlin to be considered for The Life Changer of the Year in recognition of her outstanding leadership and guidance she provides to the students at Howard High School of Technology. Mrs. Coughlin provides our students with the tools and resources for them to pursue their future endeavors.
In my role as a Student Advisor in the discipline office, I work very closely with Mrs. Coughlin; which has afforded me the opportunity to see her high level of professionalism and mindfulness when working with all our stakeholders. Mrs. Coughlin has an unbelievable way of conveying the important information to our entire school and their families about graduation requirements, scheduling, and national initiatives, in way that all parties understand the importance of the message and how it can positively impact their futures. Along with her unbelievable communication skills, Mrs. Coughlin has a heart of gold! Just like many schools across the country, we at Howard have faced tragedy with the deaths of a few students over the past couple years. These tragedies have affected our school and the community we serve tremendously. During the grieving periods after these tragedies, Mrs. Coughlin worked tirelessly to ensure our students and their families had the proper guidance to deal with grief. Mrs. Coughlin, also meant one on one with students and staff to support them with their grief. Without Mrs. Coughlin’s compassion and hands-on approach to help our students and faculty deal with these events, we as a school would not be able to continue to thrive and overcome these events. Mrs. Coughlin is so much more than just a Guidance Counselor! She is one of the most vital parts of our school’s body, she is the heart and soul! Her impact from the time the student comes to Howard in the 9th grade to when they walk across the graduation stage in May, leaves an impact that last for a lifetime with our students. Constantly, student’s come back to Howard to seek out her guidance when they have been gone from the school for years. That show how exceptional Mrs. Coughlin’s contribution has been in the lives of so many students she has worked with at Howard High School of Technology.
Because of these efforts, Kirsten Coughlin has not only earned this nomination for The Life Changers of the Year award, but also the respect and gratitude of those for whom and with whom Mrs. Coughlin serves. As one of those peers whom Mrs. Coughlin has inspired and motivated, I strongly urge you to award Mrs. Coughlin with The Life Changer of the Year award.
Congratulations, Kirsten! Thank you for being so thorough, reliable, and flexible. I appreciate your expertise and extensive knowledge as well as your willingness to help students and colleagues. There have been so many times over the years that you have helped me to solve a complicated problem, and you are always happy to help. When we have worked together to support specific students, you are always willing to step up and take responsibility for an ongoing role in the plan. You are so incredibly dependable and truly an asset to Howard. We are so lucky to have you!!! -Tristan Spates, Special Education Team Leader
Kirsten- Congratulations on this recognition! You truly are making a difference for our students. It has been a pleasure working with you all of these years.
Way to go Kirsten! I love working with you and love the passion you have when working with our students! You are a true gem! Congratulations!
Working with Kirsten is wonderful. Not only does she take her counselor duties seriously for the abundance of students that she oversees, but she finds time to go the extra mile to help anyone in need; staff, student or parent. In addition to being a guidance counselor, a college/career readiness coach, and parent/teacher/student advocate, Kirsten adds the personal touch by getting involved, offering a smile when it is needed, caring (even about the small stuff), or lending a helping hand with a project/item someone might be struggling with. Kirsten does all of this efficiently and effectively while also raising a family and educating herself professionally about the ever-changing needs of our student body. She is my go-to person when I have a guidance question/concern. Kirsten makes my job as an educator easier in many ways and she always does it with a smile on her face! Thanks!
Congratulations Kirsten! Well deserved!
Kirsten is an amazing school counselor who always puts her students first. We as a school community were so proud when she was named School Counselor of the Year for the State of Delaware. You could not find a more deserving person than Kirsten Coughlin!
Kirsten you are such a gem at Howard. Our students and families are better because of your tireless work and dedication.
My name is Diana and I am a Nationally Certified School Psychologist. Kirsten is very deserving of this title! I have known her for the past five years and she has helped shape our school in an endless amount of ways. Kirsten always takes time to help staff members, kids, and parents of our students. She is highly knowledgeable in the area of school counseling and also has a personality that kids naturally gravitate towards. She has changed countless amounts of lives throughout her years in education and she will continue to do so for years to come.
