classroom motto is “Hands On… Minds On!”
where everyone can explore with their own

math for future pathway choices. Within that
exploration, we strive to motivate students to
be successful academically and to graduate from
high school well prepared to take the next step
of higher education or to enter into a career.
Henry Ford once said, “one of the greatest
discoveries a man makes, one of his great
surprises, is to find he can do what he was afraid
he couldn’t do.” Through career exploration
opportunities at Wadworth, our students are
encouraged to dream, explore, and discover.
