About Us

The Guidance & Counseling Department at Newburyport High School uses a holistic approach to student learning, health, and wellbeing. Our school counselors strive to enhance the academic and personal experience of our students by forming safe and authentic relationships.

In addition to our traditional school counselors, a limited number of school adjustment counselors provide support for students who experience emotional distress that interferes with their ability to make progress in school or who are returning from therapeutic hospitalizations and require emotional support. School adjustment counselors provide psychological services as required for special education students in their IEPs, as well as individual counseling for general education students when referred by the school counselor.
