THANK YOU to all who have served! Veterans Day, or Armistice Day, was founded in honor of the cessation of hostilities between the Allied forces and Germany in World War I. The fighting ended on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month. For that reason, we honor our veterans on November 11th. #WaterfordCares #WUSD

Each month, each WJHS staff member picks one outstanding student to be recognized for displaying positivity, productivity, and professionalism. For October, these students were recognized and awarded with a pizza lunch. Congratulations and amazing job to the students who were recognized! #WaterfordTigers #WUSD

Reminder that there will be no school on Friday, Nov. 10th to honor Veterans' Day holiday.
