Check out the weekly schedule of events and join us as we focus on kindness, encouragement, and making a difference—one act at a time.
Our 1st Semester Academic Awards Ceremony was a great success, with a full house and many supportive families in attendance. Students were recognized for their hard work and academic achievement, with awards presented for Honor Roll (3.0–3.4), WESS (3.5–4.0), Perfect Attendance, and the Principal’s Award.
We are incredibly proud of our students for their dedication and commitment to excellence. Congratulations to all of our award recipients, and thank you to our families for celebrating these accomplishments with us!

As we wrap up the month of December at WJHS, we’re excited to share some of the great activities that brought learning, celebration, and holiday spirit to our campus.
Students from the high school PHAST Club visited our 7th and 8th grade science classes to present valuable information on living a healthy lifestyle. We appreciate their leadership and positive influence on our Tigers.
We also celebrated our Quarter 2 Character Trait: PRODUCTIVITY. Staff nominated students who demonstrated consistent effort, responsibility, and a strong work ethic. These students were recognized with awards and enjoyed a special surprise lunch in their honor.
Mr. Miller and Mr. Kerr closed out the girls’ basketball season with an end-of-season celebration. We are so proud of our athletes for their hard work and growth throughout the season, and we are grateful to our coaches.
The month finished with festive fun across campus. The History Department hosted a PBIS activity with spirited “Reindeer Games,” while staff enjoyed dress-up days and activities such as “Find Your (s)ELF,” Holiday Trivia, and “Guess Whose Tree”. The week concluded with a staff holiday gathering featuring great food and a lively white elephant gift exchange.
We wish all of our WJHS families and staff a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year. Enjoy the break, and we look forward to welcoming all students back on January 6th.

Just a reminder to stop by the WJHS gym next Monday and Tuesday from 4-8 PM for the Leadership Class' free Gift Wrapping event.
The Winter Concert last night featured festive and polished performances full of holiday spirit by our Band and Orchestra.
A big thank-you to Mr. Medina for leading such an impressive program. It was especially exciting to hear pieces composed by Mr. Medina himself, and even more incredible knowing that most of our band members are first-year musicians—you would never know it from their performance!
Thank you as well to Mr. Chimente and the Leadership class for transforming the event into a festive Winter Wonderland. It was a memorable night for our school community!

Thank you to our amazing Waterford community. Our WJHS Thanksgiving Food Drive was a huge success—we provided food boxes for families in need and still had enough to donate to the local food bank.

We also want to extend our sincere appreciation to the WJHS staff who collaborated, organized, and worked behind the scenes to make this drive possible. Your teamwork and dedication helped bring this effort to life and support families in our community.
