The Medfield High School guidance office is comprised of five school 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 School Counseling Department strives to keep families informed about their work with students. The office maintains a website for general information and utilizes the web-based programs Aspen and Naviance to assist students and families with course selection, interest inventories, and future planning. The counselors also provide students with information about current job opportunities, peer and private tutoring, and scholarships. School 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 workshops, 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 school counselor at any point with any questions or concerns.

We acknowledge that students come from diverse backgrounds, ethnicities, race, religion, and gender and also bring different talents and styles of learning. We are committed to educational equity. This means that every student, regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, religion, language or family income has access to a high-quality education, including well-trained, professional educators; safe and stimulating learning environments; multiple educational opportunities; academic counseling; current technology, and other essential educational materials and resources.
