School Counselor Jobs in Colorado: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a school counselor in Colorado?
You become a school counselor in Colorado by earning a master's degree in school counseling from an accredited program and obtaining a school counselor license issued by the Colorado Department of Education. The process requires completing a supervised internship in a school setting and passing required content assessments. Once licensed, you apply directly to Colorado school districts. The Colorado Department of Education's Educator Licensing division oversees all requirements and renewals.
Which companies hire school counselors in Colorado?
Colorado school counselor roles are posted by Shiloh House, Kent Denver School, and Garfield RE-2 School District and others right now, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Colorado's large urban and suburban school districts, including those serving the Denver metro area, account for the majority of open positions across the state.
Which Colorado cities have the most school counselor jobs?
Englewood, Colorado Springs, and Colorado have the most school counselor openings in Colorado. Denver leads because of the concentration of large public school districts and charter networks in the metro area, while Colorado Springs and Aurora reflect the significant student populations served by districts like Academy District 20 and Aurora Public Schools, each maintaining dedicated counseling staff across multiple campuses.
Are there remote school counselor jobs in Colorado?
Yes, but they're rare. School counseling is an inherently on-site role built around direct student contact, crisis response, and in-person collaboration with teachers and families. About 0% of school counselor openings tied to Colorado are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, and those positions tend to involve virtual school programs or administrative counseling coordination roles rather than traditional campus-based work.
How can I get hired as a school counselor in Colorado with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying to school counselor intern or provisional roles within Colorado's larger districts while completing your master's program. Denver Public Schools, Jefferson County Public Schools, and Aurora Public Schools regularly bring on candidates under provisional Colorado Department of Education licenses, allowing supervised practice before full licensure. Candidates with a background as a school psychologist, social worker, or academic advisor hold a strong advantage, and completing your supervised internship within a Colorado district often leads directly to a first hire.
