We're delighted to welcome Stacey DuPont to Watershed this year as our new part-time Learning Specialist!
A Warm Welcome from Tracy Halgren, Watershed's Interim Head of School
“I'm genuinely energized as we head into this new school year, not because I can point to one specific thing, but because of what's underneath it all: a community driven by curiosity and grounded in the world, ready to explore, and confident that our students are capable of remarkable things right now, not someday. That's the spirit I want us to carry into August, and it's the spirit I hope you feel in every note, every event, and every conversation this year.”
Welcome, Diana & Katie!
Welcome, Cindy & Jonathan!
As we prepare for another exciting school year, we're thrilled to welcome two (of our four!) new educators to the Watershed community. Cindy and Jonathan will both serve as full-time upper school humanities teachers and upper school advisors, bringing a wealth of experience, curiosity, and a deep commitment to meaningful learning. We can't wait for our students and families to get to know them as they become part of our Watershed community.
Why I Teach at Watershed
Middle school humanities educator Stacy Howard reflects on her teaching journey at Watershed thus far. “About a year ago, I had just accepted a job at Watershed — a humanities position at an expeditionary, experiential learning school. I was going to teach 6th and 7th graders. And I thought I knew what I was stepping into. I had subbed here the year before, gotten to know a few people, and had a general sense of what this place was all about. But the truth is, I had no idea.”
