NHS School Counseling Department Philosophy/Mission Statement

The Needham High Counseling Department is committed to advocating for all students and to being an integral part of the NHS community.  Counselors assist, guide, and direct students and families with academic planning, social/emotional issues, post-secondary planning, and many other areas relevant in a student's high school experience.  Counselors help students develop a strong sense of self, a respect for others, and offer guidance in making good decisions and helping students achieve their aspirations.
