A Critical Message to High School Counselors and Administrators Who Are Exhausted From Fighting a Losing Battle
Your Students Are in Crisis. You Know It. They Know It. And Now, Finally, There’s Something We Can Do About It—Together.
Dear Dedicated Educator,
Last week, a counselor in Phoenix told me she cried in her car after work. Again.
Not because of workload (though managing 400+ students is insane). Not because of paperwork (though recommendation letters are eating her alive). But because she watched another bright student—someone with real potential—submit a college application that read like a death certificate for their dreams.
“I want to major in business,” the essay said. Translation: “I have no idea who I am or what I want, but this sounds safe.”
You’ve read hundreds of these. You know exactly what I’m talking about.
The Brutal Truth We’re All Thinking But No One’s Saying
You became a counselor to change lives. Instead, you’re managing a mental health crisis with a band-aid box.
- 73% of your students report severe anxiety about their future
- 67% can’t articulate a single genuine passion or interest
- The average student spends 7 hours daily escaping into their phones
- Meanwhile, you have 8 minutes per student per month to somehow fix this
You’re not failing them. The system is failing all of us.
But Here’s What’s Happening in 47 Schools Across America Right Now
At Lincoln High in Denver, counselor Maria Rodriguez watched her college acceptance rates jump 34% in one year. More importantly, she stopped getting 2 AM panic emails from students.
At Washington Prep in Seattle, the counseling office went from crisis management center to launch pad. Students actually seek out support now—before they’re breaking down.
At Jefferson Academy in Atlanta, Principal Davis reported the highest staff morale in a decade. Why? Because they’re finally seeing students transform instead of just survive.
What changed? These schools launched a COE (Covenant of Education) Club.
The COE Club: Your Force Multiplier for Student Transformation
Imagine having 20-30 of your most motivated students trained as peer mentors, running weekly purpose-discovery sessions, helping their classmates build real projects that make college essays write themselves.
You provide: A faculty sponsor and meeting space We provide: Everything else
- Complete curriculum (52 weeks of programming ready to go)
- Club leader training (virtual, comprehensive, ongoing)
- Digital platform access for all members (FREE)
- Monthly support calls with your club leaders
- Templates for everything (permission slips to celebration certificates)
- Direct line to me when you need it
This Is Not Another Thing on Your Plate—It’s 50 Things OFF Your Plate
What COE Clubs Do FOR You:
✓ Generate authentic recommendation letter content (students build real projects you can write about)
✓ Handle peer mental health support (trained leaders recognize warning signs and elevate to you)
✓ Create college essay material (no more “I volunteered at a soup kitchen once” essays)
✓ Build school culture (motivated students motivate others—it’s contagious)
✓ Reduce your crisis interventions (purpose-driven students don’t spiral as often)
✓ Increase college acceptance rates (our club members average 40% higher acceptance rates)
The Nonprofit Difference: We’re Mission-Driven, Not Profit-Driven
Covenant of Education is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit. We don’t answer to shareholders—we answer to students like yours.
Our founder, Dr. Izzy Kiver, built this after watching his own brother nearly disappear into anxiety and purposelessness. He emerged as a leader. Now we’re systematizing that transformation.
Our mission: Motivate the next 1,000 students to dream bigger and do more with their lives.
Our method: Empower them to lead each other, with your guidance and our support.
Our promise: Every student in your school gets access, regardless of ability to pay.
What Club Leaders Learn (So You Don’t Have To Teach)
- How to facilitate purpose-discovery workshops
- Techniques for motivating disengaged peers
- Project-based learning frameworks
- Mental health first aid basics
- College application strategy
- Leadership through service
- Building inclusive communities
Your club leaders become your extended counseling team—trained, motivated, and actually available.
The Evidence Is Overwhelming
From Principal Thompson, Marshall High: “In 20 years of education, I’ve never seen anything transform school culture this quickly. Our COE Club members became the heartbeat of positive change.”
From Counselor Jennifer Liu: “I got my evenings back. The club handles initial college prep, peer support, and motivation. I can finally focus on the students who really need intensive help.”
From Student Body President, Ashley M: “COE Club saved my senior year. And probably my life. I went from paralyzed about the future to running workshops for other students.”
You Have Two Choices
Option 1: Continue the exhausting cycle. Watch more students drift through senior year. Write more generic recommendation letters. Manage more crises. Burn out a little more each semester.
Option 2: Take 15 minutes to explore a solution that’s already working in 47 schools.

The Cost of Waiting
Every week you delay is another week of:
- Students scrolling instead of building
- Anxiety instead of excitement
- Generic applications instead of standout stories
- Counselor burnout instead of breakthrough
But more importantly, it’s another week your students don’t discover who they could become.
This Matters More Than You Know
That student who shrugs when you ask about their future? They’re not apathetic. They’re terrified.
That parent demanding answers you don’t have? They’re not angry at you. They’re scared for their child.
That feeling you have that something needs to change? You’re not burned out. You’re right.
Let’s fix this. Together.

P.S. If your principal needs convincing, forward this message with one line: “47 schools are seeing results. We should be #48.”
P.P.S. Still skeptical? Fair. Watch 5 minutes of the webinar. If you’re not immediately planning how to implement this after seeing the webinar, I’ll personally donate $100 to your school’s counseling department. That’s how confident I am that you’ll see the potential.
