Mission
Our mission is to inspire and prepare students for succes in and beyond school.
Our DEI
Attracting and retaining a diverse staff is extremely important and remains a goal of the Waterbury School District. Students from diverse backgrounds need to see reflections of themselves in the adults with whom they interact. Likewise, it is just as important for white students to develop meaningful school relationships with adults of color.
Career Advancement
We believe in investing in our teachers.
Waterbury Public Schools has partnered with BloomBoard to offer educators a continuing education framework that leverages micro-credentials for personalized, professional learning and career advancement. This competency-based program provides educators the opportunity to earn graduate credit, which can lead to a full master’s degree, lane change, and salary advancement.
