Grade 9 Day

Grade 9 day at Waterford District High School has been a tradition for many years. The grade 9 students team up with the senior students, and they have an activity day. Although the day used to consist of hazing instead of fun. The school has put an end to the hazing of grade 9 day, and made it a strictly fun day for the grade 9 and grade 12 students to bond and get to know one another. Every year there is a Barbecue lunch for the students, and WDHS's student council runs the day.
