Guidance counselors are available to assist students with their every day problems. Visits to the guidance office are by appointment during the regular school schedule. No appointment is necessary to consult with a counselor before or after school, or in cases of emergency.

Counselors assist students by helping them assess and understand their abilities, aptitudes, interests and their educational and vocational needs. They may also assist students in the resolution of personal problems. Other services performed by the Oakmont Guidance Department include testing, job placement and college placement. Parents/guardians are invited to contact the guidance department (978-827-5907, x2161) if any problems arise concerning their child’s progress in school.

The guidance library, which contains a large collection of occupational literature, school and college bulletins, scholarship brochures and other guidance resources, is located within the guidance suite. Students desiring to use this facility must secure a guidance pass from the guidance secretary before the school day begins.
