A word from teacher

Mr. Wyatt
This semester has been extremely busy, yet
rewarding for our student
leaders at Waterford Mott
High School. The Student
Leadership class has
successfully organized,
planned, volunteered, and
executed a large number of
school events and
community service
projects for all ages within
Waterford. Charles
Stewart Mott once said, It
seems to me that every person, always, is in a
kind of informal partnership with his community.
His own success is dependent to a large degree
on that community, and the community, after all,
is the sum total of the individuals who make it
up. Student Leadership is committed to
ensuring that every project falls directly in line
with Mr. Motts words. To us, our image is only
as good as the one the community sees and hears
about. In short, I am extremely proud of our
young people and the way in which they
continue to represent Waterford Mott and the
Waterford Community each and every day. I
hope you enjoy looking at a small sampling of
what we do and who we are as a Student
Leadership class.
Thank you,
David Wyatt
