This week, we celebrate them as a part of National School Counseling Week 2026. FMS school counselors help students in more ways than you may know. School counselors design and deliver school counseling programs that improve life-readiness and academic success. They lead, advocate, and collaborate to promote success for each and every student by connecting their school counseling program to the school’s academic mission and school improvement plan. Thank you, FMS School Counselors, for your dedication and the incredible support you provide to our students every day!

FMS In the News: Presbyterian Medical Services Athlete of the Week: Junior Reuban Marquez. By Walter Dorman, San Juan County Sports. When Piedra Vista needed someone to step up and deliver against rival Bloomfield, Reuban Marquez answered the call in a big way.
