The Medfield High School guidance office is comprised of five guidance
counselors whose goal is to work with students on making a smooth transition
to the high school, to recognize and fulfill their academic, emotional, and
social needs, and to successfully transition out of high school towards their
future plans. Over the course of a student’s high school experience, the
guidance counselors work with students both in individual and group classroom
settings to provide them with the support and resources they need regarding
academics, jobs and careers, and future planning.
Over the course of high school, the counselors deliver a developmental
curriculum to students, which aligns with the Massachusetts Curriculum
Framework for guidance.

The guidance office strives to keep families informed about their work with
students. The office maintains a website for general information and
utilizes the web-based programs Edline and Naviance to assist students and
families with course selection, interest inventories, and future planning.
The guidance office also provides students with information about current job
opportunities, peer and private tutoring, and scholarships.
Guidance counselors are available to students during the school day, as well
as before and after school by appointment. Counselors are available for
individual counseling, parent-teacher conferences, classroom guidance and
larger group information sessions. Parents and teachers may refer students
to a counselor, or students may choose to seek out their counselor
independently. Please contact your child’s guidance counselor at any point
with any questions or concerns.
