Watertown Board of Education Mission Statement

The mission of the Watertown School District, with determination to be a world-class educational leader and a centerpiece of a dynamic and growing community, is to meet the needs of each student – academic, artistic, athletic, emotional, ethical, social, and technological – to develop members of our community who:

  • Embrace life-long learning;
  • Are caring and responsible citizens;

This will be accomplished by:

  • Establishing high expectations for all students;
  • Partnering with parents and a community as a whole;
  • Providing the differentiated instruction, guidance and resources necessary to achieve these high expectations set forth for our students, staff, and community.
