About the school

Waterford Mott High School opened in 1969, with the first graduating class in June 1970.

In 1983, the school district consolidated high schools and closed Waterford Township High School. This left two high schools in the district; Mott and Waterford Kettering High School.[2][3]

In the fall of 1990, ninth graders joined the Mott student body.

As of the 2018–2019 school year, its enrollment was 1,559 students in grades nine through twelve.[4]

Students are offered a variety of classes in all four core areas as well as art, business, computer science, engineering, foreign language, health occupations, music, physical education, technology, theater, and video production.[3]

Extracurricular activities

Waterford Mott hosts a variety of clubs and programs including: the Anti-Defamation League, Bible Club, Board Game Club, Chess Club, DECA Marketing Club, Destination Imagination, Drama Club, International Thespian Society (ITS), Gay/Straight Alliance, Hazards of Tobacco (HOT), Link Crew, National Art Honor Society, National Technical Honor Society National Honor Society (NHS), Positive Peer Influence (PPI), Quiz Bowl, Students Against Destructive Decisions (SADD), Student Council, Student Leadership, Robotics, and Freestyle Walking. Waterford Mott students have also tried various times to create a Hambone/Juba Dance Club, however, that idea has not proven successful yet.
