TJ MacLean

TJ is a senior here at Watertown High School.  TJ has Spinal Muscular Atrophy, type 1 or SMA, and has had to overcome many obstacles in his life.  Although his machines practically make him bionic, he is a typical teenager with senioritis, like everyone else.

TJ is in the honor society, is captain of the Unified Sports team, and Buddy Liason for the Best Buddies program.  He enjoys being a helper in the life skills classroom as well, even if his mom is the teacher.  If he had anything to say to the students here at WHS, it would be “Choose to Include!”
