Kahlil Fitzpatrick
2024 Behavioral Health Professional of the Year
School Counselor at McCullough Middle School,
Join us in congratulating Kahlil Fitzpatrick, School Counselor at McCullough Middle School, for being named the 2024-2025 Colonial School District Behavioral Health Professional of the Year! A 1994 graduate of William Penn High School, Fitzpatrick says “My relationships with students are the most important relationship for me as a school counselor. It is through those relationships that I can determine my success and failure as a school counselor. Regardless of what’s going on in my day, I always remember that the student comes first.”
A lifelong Colonial, Kahlil is committed to the district and the community. “I would tell you that I love my job, but I don’t have one (a job). I have a purpose and I absolutely love my purpose. I am a School Counselor.”
Kahlil Fitzpatrick is a major reason for the success of Colonial kids and makes us who we are!
