Misson and Vision

Mission Statement

It is the mission of Wakefield High School’s counseling department to promote and challenge students to be lifelong learners and reach their maximum potential with the skills necessary to be career ready and have the necessary post-secondary credentials to be successful. The school counselor will act as an advocate for all students and create a comprehensive and engaging counseling curriculum to address the academic,career, personal, and social concerns of all students.  The counseling department will collaborate with key stakeholders to ensure that each student graduates with the ability to be thriving, capable, and contributing members of society.

Vision Statement

        The future does not belong to those who are content with today, apathetic toward common problems and their fellow man alike, timid and fearful in the face of bold projects and new ideas.  Rather, it will belong to those who can blend passion, reason, and courage in a personal commitment to the ideals of American society.
   -Robert Kennedy
