Last school year, our counseling program at PRIS was named a Counseling Program of Distinction by the state of Alabama. This started the process of becoming nationally recognized.

We are excited to announce that Pike Road Intermediate School has been named a Nationally Recognized American School Counseling Association (ASCA) Model Program (RAMP) School! PRIS will be a certified RAMP school from 2024 to 2029. This was a rigorous application process, and PRIS is one of only 19 schools in Alabama and 1300 nationally receiving this distinction.

The Recognized ASCA Model Program recognizes schools that are committed to delivering school counseling programs aligned with the ASCA National Model framework. The RAMP designation demonstrates to administrators, school boards, families and the community at large that the schools are committed to supporting the mission of the school and district.


We are so proud of the hard work that our counselor, Mrs. Brittany Parker put into this application and the counseling program at PRIS as a whole.
