Earlier this week, the Watertown Unified School District hosted its annual Opening of School Ceremony. During this special event, district staff is recognized for years of service. This year, 14 staff members are celebrating significant milestones with 25, 30, and 35 years of service to the district. We thank all of our staff members for all they do to support our students and families, as well as each other. 💙

Watertown High School welcomed incoming 9th graders last week during the annual Freshman Experience. During this special event, freshmen are led on a tour of the school building by junior and senior mentors. The upperclassmen introduced the freshmen to staff and talked about the many academic, extracurricular, and athletic programs available to them.

Watertown High School extends its thanks to the Bank of Lake Mills for providing funding to purchase t-shirts for mentors and freshmen featuring The Gaggle logo. The Gaggle is the official name for the student section at home sporting events.

We are pleased to introduce our new Watertown Unified School District teachers for the 2025-26 school year. Let's give them a warm Watertown welcome! ✨

Tradition. Innovation. Transformation.
