Scituate High School

Upon enrolling at Scituate High School, each student is assigned a school counselor who works with the student and family throughout high school. Partnering with students, caregivers, faculty and administrators, counselors help students identify and implement strategies in addressing issues ranging from academic performance and motivation to depression, anxiety, time management and study skills, peer and family conflict and more.  School counselors provide services to students and caregivers through direct and indirect services.  Direct services include the delivery of school counseling curriculum, individual student planning, and responsive services, such as individual and small group counseling and crisis intervention. Indirect services include referrals to outside agencies or resources and consultation and/or collaboration with staff and administration. Upon referral, school adjustment counselors provide services to students and families with more acute social, emotional, and behavioral needs. In addition, school counselors chair Section 504 Plans for students in their caseloads.  

Students and families are encouraged to make appointments with their school counselor any time when school is in session.  However, in emergency situations, students and families should feel free to come in without an appointment. All counselors may be reached via email or phone. Since most of the counselors’ time is spent working with students, it may take up to 24 hours to receive a return call or email.
