Communities
Somerville High School is organized into four Communities that support students’ academic and social-emotional growth. Each Community has a dedicated team, including school counselors, who help students with academics, college and career planning, and preparing for life after high school. Families are encouraged to contact their student’s Community Team with any questions or concerns.
