The directory contains the names, addresses, telephone numbers and grade level of all schools - public, regional, vocational , non-public, and post secondary schools in Massachusetts, along with the names of all school counselors as of November 2001.

Listings are arranged alphabetically by school district, by grade (elementary, middle/junior high, high, technical), by school, and within each school counselors are listed alphabetically. An asterisk indicates the listing is not necessarily current. At the end of the directory there is an alphabetical listing of all school counselors. Information on school names, addresses, telephone numbers, and grade levels was obtained from the Massachusetts Department of Education, and this directory follows their system of alphabetical listing for individual schools. Listing of school counselors were obtained from each school district, private school or post-secondary school, and listing of school counselors are not related to membership in the Massachusetts School Counselors Association.

A copy of this directory is mailed to every member of MASCA, to each superintendent, and to directory advertisers. Information on advertising may be obtained from the Directory Editor. Additions and subtractions may be forwarded to the Directory Editor.
