Earlier this school year, Rock Island Academy proudly earned the Recognized American School Counselor Association (ASCA) Model Program (RAMP) designation. This July, Mrs. Amy Zero will represent the Rock Island-Milan community at the ASCA 2025 Annual Conference, where Rock Island Academy will be honored during a special ceremony.
About the RAMP designation:
The RAMP designation honors schools dedicated to implementing a data-driven school counseling program based on The ASCA National Model: A Framework for School Counseling Programs.
The 2025 RAMP cohort has an acceptance rate of 80%, with 190 schools across 29 states receiving this distinguished national recognition. Since the program’s inception, nearly 1,600 schools nationwide have earned this prestigious honor. School counselors at RAMP-designated schools effectively demonstrate how their work positively influences student achievement, attendance, and discipline, while aligning their efforts with school and district goals.

Congratulations to the RIA counselor team!
