Working with donors to benefit the community through grants and scholarships since 1929.

Congratulations to Watertown High School’s Forensic Science classes! The course instructors are recipients of the first grant award from the Deacon Bruce W. Daugherty Memorial Fund of the Community Foundation. 

Deacon Daugherty’s family established the fund to honor his life and legacy after he passed away on St. Patrick’s Day last year.

Watertown’s Forensic Science class provides students with an engaging, hands-on introduction to the methods and critical thinking used in real-world criminal investigations. 

The $1,492 grant funding was used to purchase corkboards for students to create “murder boards” for their final investigative project. The boards serve as visual displays of evidence, timelines, suspects, and forensic analyses, mirroring the work of actual crime scene investigators. Funding enhance instruction for 75 students in grades 11 and 12.

“Having tangible boards to display their findings makes the learning experience more authentic and helps students better understand how evidence connects to build a case,” Forensic Science Instructor Samantha Mrs. Freeman wrote in the grant application.
