DHS Guidance & Counseling

School counseling services at Dedham High School are available to all students to assist in academic,  college, career, and personal matters.

Services are provided in a planned, programmatic manner  (developmental school counseling program) and by request or referral. Parents/guardians are encouraged  to consult with their student’s counselor at any time. They may do so by contacting the counselor directly  for an appointment. Students are encouraged to schedule appointments with their counselor before or  after school and during x-block. 

Each student’s school counselor provides support throughout their high school years. Conflicts with  academic schedules, long-term planning, and issues regarding the student’s progress and development are  among many of the roles performed by the school counselor.

Within the Counseling Department, we also have a full-time career counselor. Some support areas include professional communication skills, part time employment, community service opportunities, and career exploration. 

DHS School Counseling and Clinical Team

he DHS School Counseling and Clinical Team consists of four full-time school psychologists, four full-time school counselors, and one full-time career counselor.
