Our libraries serve as welcoming spaces where students feel safe, comfortable, and inspired to learn. From robust book collections that spark a lifelong love of reading, to engaging in STEM activities, our certified library media specialists provide vital instruction in technology, information literacy, research skills, and digital citizenship. Every day, they help our students grow as readers, thinkers, and responsible digital citizens.
Thank you to our incredible library staff for creating environments where curiosity thrives and every student belongs.

This Friday, April 17, make plans to attend the Show Choir Spectacular in the Watertown High School Auditorium starting at 7:30 p.m. This fun, high-energy event will feature the WHS show choirs River City Rhapsody and Femme Fusion, as well as our elementary show choir, Pizazz! Tickets can be purchased at the door: Adults, $3; Seniors, $2; and WHS students and children under age six, free.
Then on Sunday, April 19, catch an encore performance our show choirs at WHS at 4 p.m. as they open for Wisconsin Singers - the premier University of Wisconsin-Madison student-led performance troupe. This year’s troupe features four WHS alumni!
Wisconsin Singers' 58th season original show, "Star of the Show," blends pop, rock, and musical hits from the past 50 years. Audiences will hear over 60 songs in this fast-paced production, including fan favorites from artists like The Weeknd and Madonna, as well as Broadway numbers from award-winning musicals including "Hamilton" and "Wicked."
Tickets are $15 for general admission adults and $12 for students and seniors, and are available at www.goslingmusic.org., or at the door on Sunday.
Wisconsin Singers has provided high energy musical entertainment to communities across the Midwest since 1967. The troupe is made up of singers, dancers, lighting and tech designers, and an eight-piece live band, all full-time UW-Madison students studying across 30 majors. The student-run organization will perform over 35 shows this season, combining professional quality production with the energy and creativity of UW-Madison students.
A total of 16 seniors at Watertown High School have earned the prestigious Global Seal of Biliteracy, Wisconsin Seal of Biliteracy, or both seals.
The Global Seal of Biliteracy is an international language certificate that recognizes and celebrates a student's level of proficiency in two or more languages. The Global Seal of Biliteracy enables programs and businesses across the world to quickly validate a student’s language skills to aid in advanced placement in a post-secondary language program, help students earn scholarships, and provide opportunities for employment. It also allows employers to easily verify students’ language skills and be confident that they possess valuable soft skills linked to multilingualism.
The Wisconsin Seal of Biliteracy is a prestigious, industry-recognized credential that honors graduating seniors who have achieved a high level of proficiency in English and one or more additional languages. More than just an academic achievement, the Seal celebrates a student’s "sociocultural competence" - their ability to navigate and respect diverse cultural perspectives in an increasingly interconnected world.
For students, receiving this state-certified honor is a testament to years of dedication, whether they are perfecting a second language in the classroom or maintaining a heritage language spoken at home. This distinction not only appears on official transcripts and diplomas but also serves as a powerful signal to universities and future employers that these graduates possess the advanced communication skills and global mindset necessary to lead in the 21st-century workforce.
In today’s global economy, proficiency in multiple languages has tremendous value. We congratulate our students on this significant achievement and look forward to seeing the opportunities that their Seal of Biliteracy will bring them in the future. Way to go Goslings!
Seniors graduating with the Global Seal of Biliteracy: Zazil Medina, Neftali Hernandez Rizo, Laura Peralta Paulino, and Lincoln Smith.
Seniors graduating with both the Global Seal of Biliteracy and Wisconsin Seal of Biliteracy: Isaac Mares, Andy Pineda, Brianna Velazquez, Ashley Almendarez, Emanuel Castellon, Erik Garcia, Ximena Garcia, Jonathan Hernandez, Kinverli Martinez, Oscar Ramirez, Kylie Tripp, and Diego Urbina Cruz.
