Guidance & Counseling

Our Mission


  • The Natick High School Guidance Department is delighted to welcome parents within the academic community. We are pleased to introduce you to the work we do, which is centered on enhancing the personal, social, and academic experiences of the students we are privileged to serve each day.

  • The Guidance Department is committed to the positive welfare and academic progress of all our students, and anticipates that a graduate from Natick High has optimized their academic achievement and acquired a cadre of wonderful memories that inspire future success.

  • We invite you to visit our website which provides a comprehensive resource that enables students and parents/guardians to navigate high school successfully, and complement our personal interactions. You will find information on guidance curriculum, college planning, academic and career development, and social and emotional resources. We recognize that by living in a world where change is constant, it is more important than ever to be well-informed.

  • We also gladly welcome you to reach out to your student's guidance counselor if we can help in any way with navigating NHS and working with you collaboratively toward positive outcomes for your student.

Welcome Parents and Guardians of the Class of 2026!



Although we are sorry we cannot deliver one of our favorite programs of the year to you in person, we are delighted to make as much information available to you as possible to support you and your child’s transition to high school.
We know how important and impactful the next four years are on families and students, and we look forward to doing our part to ensure they positively shape the Class of 2026. Moreover, when students leave Natick High they are informed and ready to embrace the future and their post-secondary experiences. In partnership, we begin this journey together!
