2026 Georgia RAMP Schools

This year, 208 schools in 34 states received the Recognized ASCA Model Program® (RAMP®) designation. These schools will be honored during a special ceremony at the ASCA Annual Conference in New Orleans, La., in July for making an exemplary commitment to their school counseling program.

The RAMP ®award, celebrating its 22nd year, recognizes schools committed to delivering a comprehensive, data-informed school counseling program and a top- notch educational environment. Since its inception, more than 1,600 schools have been designated as RAMP ®recipients. RAMP ®schools are now in 49 states across the country. The RAMP designation is valid for five years, at which time schools must reapply to Re-RAMP. In 2026, 52 schools earned Re-RAMP status.

RAMP schools are now in 47 states across the country. The RAMP designation is valid for five years. To maintain RAMP status, this year’s RAMP recipients must submit a successful application by Oct. 15, 2029, to maintain their RAMP status. This year 35 schools earned Re-RAMP status.

“This year’s RAMP® honorees have shown their commitment to students and the school counseling profession,” said Jill Cook, ASCA executive director. “These schools used data to drive their program development and implementation so all students can achieve success.
