Bentzin Speaker Community Event: Dr. Talithia Williams
May 19, 2022 @ 7pm in the WHS Auditorium
WHS is excited to announce that our 2022 Bentzin Speaker will be Dr. Talithia Williams, a host of the PBS series, NOVA Wonders, groundbreaking professor, popular TED speaker, and inspiring author and passionate STEM/STEAM advocate. Here is a link to Dr. Williams’ biography. There is no cost for admission and all community members are welcome. We hope to see you there! Hope you are able to attend the presentation on May 19th!
The WHS schedule on Friday, May 20th will be modified so all students are able to attend Dr. Williams’ presentation by grade level. We look forward to welcoming Dr. Williams to Watertown High School.
Prom
Prom is Saturday, May 7 from 8:00-11:30 in the WHS. The two junior and senior courts will be presented at 9:30 pm. All students need to be in the prom by 9:30 pm. Directly after the prom, students can go to the Elks Lodge on First Street. The post prom runs from 11:30-2:00 am and is free with your prom ticket. If students are going to post prom, they must be there by 12:15 am, as there will be no admittance after that.

Be sure to continue to check grades on Skyward and reach out to a WHS counselor if you have any concerns about your student’s progress toward graduation.
