The mission of the MHS Counseling Department at Millburn High School is to provide a comprehensive, developmental counseling program addressing the academic, career and personal/social development of all students. School counseling is an essential part of the educational process. Our counselors work collaboratively with students, teachers, parents, and administrators to assist students as they navigate their unique academic, personal, social and career paths in order to become positive and productive members of society.
We have created a welcoming space for our students to spend time. We encourage all students to get to know their counselors.
