This is such an incredible honor to receive the Angela Wilkins Helping Hand Award through the Kentucky School Counselor Association! ❤️

We are proud to announce that Elkhorn Middle School Family Resource and Youth Service Center (FRYSC) Coordinator Alexie Brough received the Kentucky School Counseling Association’s (KSCA) Angela Wilkins Helping Hand Award. The honor recognizes an individual outside the counseling profession who goes above and beyond to support school counselors and student mental health.

Ms. Brough serves sixth- through eighth-grade students. She has been in education for three years, serving students at Elkhorn Middle School throughout that time. Each year, she aligns the FRYSC’s Programming Plan with school counseling goals to support the whole child. Her key contributions include the following:
- Securing the $3,000 Brothers-Run Grant for two consecutive years to fully fund the Sources of Strength su***de prevention program.
- Delivers critical guidance and wellness initiatives, including Too Good for Drugs lessons, 6th-grade “Minute Meetings,” small-group support, trauma-informed care, and the “How to Be a Gentleman” club in partnership with the School Resource Officer.
- Coordinates wraparound services for families, including the Big Smiles Dental Program, holiday assistance, and regular Lunch Bunch support groups.

Elkhorn Middle School Principal Audra Hoofnagle commended Ms. Brough for her passion for her students and her drive to make a positive difference.

“Ms. Brough is driven, proactive, compassionate, and a catalyst for positive change that serves as a seamless extension of the school counseling team,” said Audra Hoofnagle, Elkhorn Middle School Principal. “Her leadership and holistic approach to student wellness ensures that students receive comprehensive support across all aspects of their lives.”

“Receiving the Angela Wilkins Helping Hand Award is such an incredible honor. I was filled with excitement and smiling from ear to ear,” said Alexie Brough, FRYSC Coordinator. “This award is a reminder that even the smallest acts can make a lasting difference, and I am so excited and thankful to continue doing what I love every day.”
