Resources & Phone Numbers

Hi! I’m Ashley Harrison, one of the counselors at Mason County High School. I’m so glad you’ve found our Counselor Corner! I hope this page helps keep you informed about everything going on in our department and serves as a helpful resource throughout your time at MCHS.

Being a school counselor is truly my dream job. I love getting to know students, helping them discover what they’re passionate about, and guiding them as they plan for life after high school. My favorite part of counseling is helping students navigate course selection, college applications, scholarships, and career planning. It’s exciting to watch them grow into confident young adults and celebrate their successes along the way.

Before becoming a counselor, I taught several different science classes, so I’m still a science nerd at heart—and I completely embrace it! I also worked in a veterinary clinic for 10 years, which gave me a lifelong love of animals and helping others.

Outside of school, you’ll usually find me with my husband, Marc, and our three kids—Madalyn, Ellie, and Granger who also attend Mason County. We love traveling, spending time outdoors, exploring new places, and caring for the many animals on our farm. If there’s an adventure to be had, we’re probably on our way to it!

I hope every student knows my office is a place where they are welcome, supported, and encouraged. Whether you need help planning your future, working through a challenge, or just need someone to listen, I’m here for you. I look forward to getting to know you and helping make your high school experience a great one!

Hi! My name is Rachel Stanfield, and I’m glad to be one of the school counselors at MCHS!

A little bit about me: I grew up in Fairfield, Ohio as the oldest of three kids! I attended Miami University & graduated with a degree in Secondary Language Arts Education. I moved to Maysville in 2004, when I accepted a position teaching English at MCHS. Since then, I’ve earned an ELA National Board certification, a school counseling certification, and my LPCA credential. I continued teaching until May 2019, when I accepted this position. I am married to Chad, who teaches a variety of social science classes. We have one daughter named Maddie, who is the apple of our eye! I am an avid reader who loves to travel!

When I think back to my days in high school, I think about how I only saw my counselor twice: once to request that he send my transcripts to prospective colleges and once to make sure that he had completed the task. That’s it. I truly hope to be the opposite of that (though I don’t mind sending a transcript or 100 lol ). I hope that parents and all of our students feel like they can come to me with both big and small concerns. I hope to share in your students’ successes and be there to help them through a troubling time.

On this website, as the year progresses, I hope that you will return and find helpful school / counseling updates, social and emotional tips and activities, pictures of your students here at school, and many other things! We want this to be a place that promotes positivity, mental wellness, and love for our MCHS families!
