Celebrate Our Panther Graduates!
The Watervliet High School Graduation Commencement Ceremony is set for Friday, May 30th at 6:30 PM.
We're hoping for clear skies as we plan to host the ceremony at the Watervliet Panther Stadium. Should the weather not permit an outdoor event, we'll move the celebration indoors to the Watervliet High School Gymnasium. We can't wait to celebrate the Class of 2025!


Due to power outages and downed trees across many roads throughout the district, all Watervliet Public Schools will be closed today, May 16th.


Today, May 8, 2025, we experienced a malfunction of our duress system, leading to several lockdown alert initiations within a short period. These alerts were false alarms. Our Technology Services team worked with service providers to identify the bug and stabilize the system. At no time were any students or staff in peril.
We are working with our partners to determine why this happened and take appropriate actions to make certain the system is functioning properly at all times.
We know lockdown notifications can be unsettling for some of our students. However, as we discover any system integration problems, we are able to fix them and build a more robust security situation for our students and staff.
Thanks,
Ric Seager
