On Wednesday, city and school officials toured the construction progress at the new Watertown High School.

As part of the tour, attendees walked through much of the building, looking at classrooms, the gymnasium, auditorium, academic atrium, media center, wood shop, cafeteria, parking garage, and other common spaces. Architects, builders, and project managers from the construction team were on-site to answer questions and detail what crews are working on this fall.

Watertown HIgh School remains on schedule to open in April of 2026. When it opens, WHS will be the first high school in the country to meet both LEED 4.1 platinum and net-zero energy standards, making it the most environmentally-friendly high school building in the United States.
