Angleton Trained Chaplains For Ethical Education & School Safety Announced

Following the passing of the Chaplain Bill in the State of Texas earlier this year, both public and private schools alike can now take on a trained chaplain as a full-time or part-time member of staff. As advocates for the goodness brought to schools by chaplains, the National School Chaplain Association is particularly pleased by this development, and they are now looking forward to working alongside schools in Angleton and Brazoria County to find and place the chaplain that is right for their school community.

As schools in Texas continue to suffer from the ongoing shortage of trained counselors, school chaplains can provide much-needed emotional wellbeing support to both students and teachers alike. Chaplains who are certified with the National School Chaplain Association are trained to create safe spaces within schools and to offer confidential counseling.

Moreover, as schools continue to face immense challenges with gun violence and school safety, National School Chaplain Association chaplains--who all receive respected safety training and obtain three certifications through Active Shooter, Threat Assessment, and Stop the Bleed--are trained to create safer school environments through compassionate and judgement-free outreach and to respond if something does go wrong. The latest figures from the Washington Post show that there have been 389 school shootings since Columbine, and 46 alone in 2022, showcasing that schools nationwide need far more support tools to reach out to troubled teens.

Although school chaplains work in denominational and non-denominational schools, and are proud to support and assist students from all backgrounds, they are readied with a faith-based and Biblical perspective that the National School Chaplain Association believes can promote more ethical education and create a sense of hope and purpose in school communities.

While schools can also hire independently qualified or uncertified chaplains, the National School Chaplain Association is confident that their chaplains can offer far greater benefits and professionalism to any school in Angleton and Brazoria County.

The association said, "We provide confidential support for all teachers, staff, and students, a national standard for school chaplaincy qualifications, branded uniform for professional environments, seamless integration of chaplains into schools, relationship-driven certified professionals, continued education training and support, and a national school chaplain registry."
