Mission :

The educational programs of Watertown High School are based on the philosophy that the school's primary purpose is to provide the environment and the learning experiences that will assist all students in physical, emotional, social, and intellectual growth. It is the school's responsibility to join with parents, students, and the community in determining appropriate goals to meet the needs of individual students, while helping to build the foundations for a productive and satisfying life in our democratic society.

Believing that well-educated citizens - responsible, independent, and aware of basic values in a free and democratic society-are essential, the school should dedicate itself to developing these citizens by motivating students to reach goals that enables personal fulfillment and worthwhile contributions to society. Furthermore, it is the responsibility of the school to teach the basic concepts of the role of democracy in a world community and to impress upon every student the responsibilities and privileges of the individual in the global society.
