Freshmen

The counseling team works to support the incoming freshman class to Newburyport High School. Students meet during the first semester to become familiar with their new school, get to know each other, and build a relationship with their counselor. Counselors review supports and resources, getting involved at NHS, goal-setting, and decision-making. Students learn about study skills, time management and other topics. 

Grade 9 Advisory

The main resource that freshmen will utilize during advisory is SchoolLinks. In ninth grade, students will continue using SchooLinks in a variety of ways, including:

 • Setting academic and personal goals
 • Meeting individually with school counselors for personalized planning
 • Signing up for extracurricular activities
