The Advanced Art classes have been hard at work on an exciting new project for our school hallways. Back in November, we held a mural design competition, and students selected the winning design through a vote. Now, the painting process is underway. In addition, students are also recreating WHS school mottos from the past fourteen years.
ALL PANTHER PARENTS ARE INVITED TO ATTEND!
PANTHERS — LET’S FINISH STRONG! 🐾
WE’RE ALMOST TO 100%!

Restorative Conversations at WHS
Watervliet High School is piloting a new approach to behavior management that focuses on restorative practices. When a student receives a referral for a lower-level behavior that would typically result in a detention, they now have the option to participate in a restorative conversation instead.
During these conversations, the student meets with one of our trained senior peer conflict mediators to talk through what happened, reflect on their choices, and take responsibility for their actions. Currently, we have three trained seniors in the building facilitating these conversations.
This approach allows students time to process their decisions and learn from the situation, while also keeping them engaged in school rather than serving detention. At the same time, it provides valuable leadership opportunities for our senior mediators, who are helping guide their peers through these important conversations.
We are proud to continue finding ways to support students in learning, growing, and building a positive school culture at WHS. 🐾

CONGRATULATIONS TO YOUR SENIOR FEBRUARY 2026 Student of the Month--LEILA LIBERTO-TAYLOR!
My family consists of my mom and dad, my two older sisters, and my younger brother. My dad works for the school, and my mom is a travel nurse. My two older sisters are in college, and my brother is a freshman this year.
My top two favorite classes are Personal Finance with Mr. Dimino and Girls' Weight Training with Mr. Tremblay. Both classes are so much fun and help me improve in many ways. Both teachers want the best for their students and are incredibly supportive.
During the school year, I play volleyball, basketball, and softball, and I have loved every minute of it. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family, playing with my dogs and rabbits, and being with friends.
After high school, I plan to attend college and become a lawyer. There will definitely be some challenging moments, but it will be worth it when I can help others. I am proud to be a WHS Panther because it provides opportunities for me to grow academically and personally.

CONGRATULATIONS TO YOUR FRESHMAN FEBRUARY 2026 Student of the Month --Daniella Romero-Chairez!
My family consists of my mom and dad. I have two older sisters. The oldest, Brenda (22), attends SMC, and my sister Kimberly (18), who is my best friend, attends Washington University in St. Louis.
My favorite class is ASL because it’s super cool to learn a new language, and it would be amazing to use it in real life. The projects are always fun, and learning new signs is exciting.
My favorite teacher is Ms. Irmen because she is very chill and funny. The projects in her class are fun, and she is always helpful when I don’t understand something. I have her for two classes, and they are both my favorites.
I plan to go to college in Michigan to stay close to home. I want to live far enough away to feel independent but still be able to come home on weekends. I’m not sure what I want to study yet, but I really enjoy my Marine and Freshwater class.
I’m proud to be a WHS Panther because of the amazing people and staff here. The community is strong, everyone gets along, and the staff truly cares about their students.
