Mission Of The Department

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.
