What better way to end National School Counseling Week than to share news of a CSD counselor
receiving some much-deserved recognition. Hillcrest High Counselor Eric Murdock has been named
"School Counseling Educator of the Year" by the Utah Association of Career and Technical Educators'
Guidance Division.
"[Eric] is a leader in creating options for a diverse group of students," reads his nomination form.

Hillcrest is home to advanced learner programs and boasts some of the state's top performing arts programs.
It also has a homeless shelter in its boundaries and a good proportion of its students are from
low-income families. Eric works tirelessly with all students and their families to forge individualized
paths to graduation. He serves on CSD's Credit Recovery Committee, which identifies students who
are at-risk for not graduating and helps them make-up lost credits. He also provides
counseling at Entrada, Canyon District's Adult High School.
Eric Murdock was in my fourth class in 1983-1984.
He was such a great kid!
I also had a lot of interaction with him when he
worked for his dad, my doctor . . . Joe Murdock.
He was always going to school, and said he wanted to
be a counselor in an elementary school.
I also taught his sisters, Leanne and Laura.
