Personal and civic responsibility, love of learning, and empathy for others: these are the qualities that Wayland High School seeks to instill in its students.  At its core, our mission is to provide a rigorous and stimulating academic environment that promotes the acquisition of knowledge and skills.  Yet we deem it equally important to nurture self-confident, collaborative, and conscientious individuals.  We strive to create a climate where risk-taking is safeguarded, open expression is encouraged, and free association is protected.  Our goal is to advance our students' growth into principled, informed, and capable citizens who will help guide a democracy that follows humanitarian principles in the global forum, and shape a just society where individuals may reach their full potential.
