Principal's Welcome

Greetings Waterford Mott High School Families,

It is with honor and great pleasure that I welcome you to the upcoming academic school year. As your principal, I am deeply committed to collaborating with staff, students, families, and our community partners to enhance the educational experiences of every child we serve. Together, we will maintain an academic culture where students are challenged to achieve at the highest levels. At the same time, we are dedicated to helping them cultivate the social skills necessary to flourish at school, within our community, and globally upon graduation.

Each year, our highest priority remains improving student outcomes in an environment that is supportive, encouraging, and conducive to academic success. To achieve this, we ask for your partnership in holding students accountable to three core pillars: being active participants in the learning process; building strong relationships with their teachers, support staff, and peers; and crafting post-secondary plans geared toward college readiness and/or the acquisition of a skilled trade. In turn, you can always expect our staff’s performance to reflect the highest degrees of integrity, professionalism, and care. 

We firmly believe that parents and guardians are the first and most influential educators in a child's life. Therefore, it is imperative that the bond between home and school is both solid and supportive. When we stand together as a united front, the sky is the limit for what our young Corsairs can accomplish.

Thank you for entrusting your children to our care. Should you have any questions, concerns, or require additional information as the school year gets underway, please do not hesitate to reach out to me via phone or email. You can also access the Waterford School District website for continual updates throughout the year.

I look forward to embarking on this journey with you. Let’s make it a fantastic year by demonstrating, through our collective efforts, that WE run this ship!

Sincerely,

Kristen Woods-Helms

Principal
