Abstract
This chapter explores how school counselors are servant leaders through the MTMDSS Framework in K-12 and how they practice servant leadership skills pre- and post-pandemic. School counselors are servant leaders in their school communities. They lead with their hearts to serve students through their academics, social-emotional needs, and post-high school plans. They collaborate with staff to ensure students get the personal support needed. In addition, they develop school culture with faculty and administrators. As school counselors return to campus, they face challenges since they have large caseloads and new responsibilities, but their ability to multitask, connect with others, and provide help when needed will help guide their work. School counselors demonstrate servant leadership values in their work. As school counselors, their goal is always the greater good. School counselors are student-centered and strive to help their students be the best possible version of themselves.
