Watertown High School Fall Play

Come one and all to our Watertown High School Fall Play! The WHS Players will be putting on Get Smart. In this comedy, Agent Smart is off on a bizarre new case in which he must stop the sinister organization known as KAOS from their most shameful plot. Their plan this time is to prove their power by blowing up the Statue of Liberty! This is too much, and Smart springs—perhaps we should say stumbles—into action.

Directed by Robin Wilson, come and enjoy our first live play performance of the season!


When: Friday November 19th at 7pm

Saturday November 20th at 2pm and 7pm

Where: Watertown High School’s Memorial Auditorium

Annual Student Information Verification Forms (online)

This year's Fall Guardian/Emergency Contact Info Verification forms are now accessible through our online registration/enrollment system. This annual process is required to verify and update your student's demographic, health, family, and contact data.


One parent/guardian in each household should have received an email from our registrar, Terri Stafford, with the subject of "Annual Fall Student Verification 21-22". That email contains more detailed information as well as a link to your student's specific form. Please complete the forms by Monday, November 15th.

Drive-Thru donation days

Youth Risk behavior Survey

The Massachusetts Youth Health Survey-Youth Risk Behavior Survey will be conducted during selected classes on Wednesday, December 8th. Parents/guardians will receive a permission form two weeks prior to the administration of the survey.

The Massachusetts Departments of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) and Public Health (DPH) will use the MYHS and MYRBS results to (1) determine the extent to which adolescents practice health-risk behaviors; (2) monitor how priority health-risk behaviors among high school students increase, decrease, or remain the same over time; (3) evaluate the impact of state and local efforts to reduce high-risk behaviors; (4) develop and redesign comprehensive health education programs and other strategies to help reduce risk behaviors (5) monitor progress of intensive projects in select districts and communities.
