Waterford High School

Today marks National Fentanyl Awareness Day, and we want to ensure everyone in our school community is informed and empowered to make safe choices. Fentanyl is a potent synthetic opioid that poses a serious risk, especially when mixed with other substances. Here are a few key points to remember: 1️⃣ Fentanyl is incredibly strong – even a small amount can be fatal. 2️⃣ It's often mixed with other drugs like heroin, cocaine, marijuana, or counterfeit pills without notice, increasing the danger. 3️⃣ Education and open communication are crucial. Talk to your kids about the risks, and don't hesitate to ask questions or seek help if needed. Let's work together to raise awareness and keep our community safe. Knowledge is power! #OnePillCanKill #WaterfordCares #WUSD

On Wednesday afternoon Waterford High School made history for becoming the first school in the Southern Athletic League to host a league track and field meet. This is not possible without the support of our community getting together and voting to pass measure K, which helped fund the construction of our all-weather track. We are so happy to see our amazing community members along with members of other communities in our league take in the first ever Southern Athletic League Track and Field meet held at WHS. Join us again in TWO WEEKS on March 20th as we host the second of three more meets to be held at Waterford High School. Thank you everyone for coming out and supporting our amazing athletes. Go Wildcats!!!!!

The summer program is a great opportunity for students to receive their physical education credit and free up room in their schedules for electives and CTE courses.
