We are a
PreK-12
 public school
district, established in 1942, serving
over 11,500 students in Waterford Township, Independence, White
Lake, West Bloomfield, and the City of Lake Angelus.
The
education of our students is our primary focus. We guarantee to
all students the knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary to
become effective citizens of the world. Our students are
successful because parents, staff, and the community share high
expectations for quality instruction and successful student
learning. We stress quality. Our students and staff are
challenged to excel. Waterford students annually represent high
achievement in academics, athletics, career and technical
education, and performing arts. Take a look at our many
District Points of Pride.
In addition, our students and staff have many great
accomplishments in and out of the classroom. See our
District Awards for District accolades.

Community
support in the Waterford School District was evident when voters
overwhelmingly passed the $60 million bond issue in March 1999 and
a $100 million bond issue in June 2003. New
Pool and Fitness
Centers, as well as Performing Art Centers and new gymnasiums have
been added to each high school and numerous building improvements
have occurred because of the successful passage of the bond
issues.
Located in the geographic
center of Oakland County, Waterford Township is known as the
Lakeland Paradise, encompassing 42 square miles. In addition to
local shopping and entertainment, Waterford enjoys a centralized
location that offers easy access to many attractions. Encompassing
34 lakes,
living in Waterford means enjoying
the outdoors. Golf courses, tennis clubs, ski areas, a wave pool,
and two skate parks serve the immediate area.
The superb recreational amenities of the area have
combined with an automotive industry and an enviable
location to spur growth and expansion. The close proximity of the
major automotive center of Pontiac and the presence of the Oakland
International Airport has also generated new business and
residential expansion. Waterford is home to many important
corporations that include Chrysler Pentastar Aviation, Rockwell
International, and Volkswagen of America.
