GSCA regrets to inform you of the passing of Dr. Wayne Cowan Huey (September 1, 1943 - June 1, 2023).
Dr, Huey served as GSCA President from 1986 - 1987. His theme during his presidency was Creating a Climate for Change.
From his obituary:
Wayne Cowan Huey, Ph.D., passed away peacefully at the age of 79 after a valiant 22 year battle with Parkinson's. He volunteered for PD research studies to help future patients, learned everything about the disease, and exercised enthusiastically doing as much as he could until the end.
Wayne moved to Atlanta and joined the Dekalb County School System where he worked for 37 years as a teacher, track coach, (Walker High School) and then as a counselor for most of his career. He was director of counseling for both Gordon and Lakeside High Schools, a state and national leader for Georgia School Counselors Association (GSCA) and American School Counselors Association (ASCA), taught courses at GSU, made over 300 presentations all over the United States, published many articles in professional journals, and wrote the Ethical Standards for ASCA. He, with other expert colleagues, edited and compiled and published several editions of Ethical and Legal Issues in School Counseling and Toward the Transformation of Secondary School Counseling. He and his principal Leo Smith were featured in Atlanta Magazine for their work with unwed fathers.
His many honors include Georgia and National Secondary School Counselor of the Year, Lifetime Achievement Award (GSCA), Distinguished Alumnus Award from Department of Counseling and Psychological Services, Georgia State University, Georgia School Board award for Excellence in Educational Leadership, yearbook dedications, and many more.
Most importantly, Wayne influenced thousands of students through the years and continued to inspire others even after entering Assisted Living. He loved traveling all over the world with his wife Patsy, getting together with their many friends, eating desserts, exercising, and taking trips to the beach with his children and grandchildren whom he loved dearly.
