Notes from the Principal:

Welcome back parents and students.  I am truly excited to take over as the building principal at Watkins Memorial High School to continue our path of excellence.  There have been a number of changes at the high school for next year including over 8 new staff members for next year.  Exciting times are in front of us, and if there is ever anything I can do to help you, please do not hesitate to contact me.

How to help your student learn
Summer Tips!
·         If you are thinking about going to college after high school, the summer is a great time to take a college visit.  
·           Make contact with someone in the field you think you want to work after you graduate from high school and see if you can shadow them for a day or two.
