On Monday April 8, 2019 TOWN and WHS will be hosting our second annual Townies Talk, an alumni storyteller panel at Watertown High School. Alumni are invited to return to the high school to share your story, answer questions, and inspire current WHS students. In addition, on Tuesday, April 9, 2019, we are inviting alumni to attend Career Day for Sophomores.

We're excited that there are two opportunities for alumni to head back to WHS to share their stories. It’ll be great to be off-line and in real-life, to share ideas, and inspire the community.

WHS Students can sign up in the library with Nicole Lewis.

Itinerary

Tuesday April 9th - 8:30am - 11am

WHS will be hosting Career Panels for our Sophomore students. On this morning, sophomores will rotate between panels of guest speakers representing various careers to learn about the training/schooling needs, what it is like to work in that field, and have the opportunity to ask questions.

Confirmed alumni are:  Bob LaBonne Jr., Matt O’Meara, Lauren Parenteau (Vail), Emily Cusick, Jennifer Donato, Samantha Trayer, Jamie Trayer, Colleen Murphy, Elizabeth Almerinda Mendes Ed Norton & so many others!
