BMHS Counseling Department

The mission of the Billerica Memorial High School’s School Counseling Department is to provide a comprehensive developmental school counseling program that supports all students. The curriculum will include identifying and building upon each student’s strengths and talents while developing their academic potential. The curriculum will foster personal growth, social/emotional development and civic responsibility. Each student will identify, research and create their post secondary plan that meets the 21st century learning expectations.

Counselors work with students at each grade level and deliver curriculum, services, and support through individual meetings and classroom lessons.
