The counseling staff at Westford Academy works to help students develop an educational program that matches their self-characteristics, to gain competencies needed to plan for post-high school decisions, and to develop effective human relationship skills that enhance participation in their roles as student, worker, family member, and community member.

Counselors are available throughout the school day. Emergency situations or urgent concerns will receive immediate attention. Students are encouraged to seek assistance when needed. Counselors provide group information sessions throughout the year for all students.

The secretaries, staff and administration are resources for students with questions and concerns. They respond carefully and willingly to student inquiries and needs. Throughout the curriculum, opportunities for the development of educational, career, and personal/social competencies are provided.
