An Interview with Mrs. Watz

By Allie Kohut

It is always difficult starting off a new year at a new school. However, Mrs. Watz, the new Chemistry teacher at Millbrook High School, seems to have no problem fitting in here. Being a proud graduate of Siena College, Mrs. Watz was not initially interested in teaching Chemistry. In fact, she entered Siena with the intention of eventually becoming a mathematics teacher. However, this all changed drastically when she took a chemistry course. “When I took this new course, I realized how much I enjoyed Chemistry!” Mrs. Watz said with enthusiasm.

Mrs. Watz came to Millbrook after teaching Chemistry, 8th grade science, and a forensics class at Germantown High School. When asked what the transition was like from Germantown to Millbrook, Mrs. Watz simply answered, “It was extremely easy! I was excited to teach just Chemistry.”

To rap up my interview with Mrs. Watz, I asked her what she enjoyed most about Millbrook High School. Without hesitation she answered, “The people. Everyone is so friendly, positive and hardworking! I come across great personalities in both the students and the teachers!”

It seems as though Mrs. Watz has enjoyed her move to Millbrook High School and I know that we all have too. After talking to some of her students, there is no doubt that they are all pleased with her decision to teach here. Being a student of our new Chemistry teacher, I most definitely agree.

If you are ever walking on the second floor and happen to pass the Science Wing, take the time to go and visit Mrs. Watz. She will make you realize just how fantastic Millbrook High School truly is.
