Waverly High School Front

Waverly Senior High School, more commonly known as Waverly High School, is a High School located in the unincorporated community of Waverly, Michigan. As of February 2013 the school had 1,060 students in 9th to 12th grade.[3]

In 1963, Waverly High School would be opened specifically for 10th and 11th graders due to the 12th graders deciding to stay with Sexton High School. Their first class would graduate two years later in 1965. During 1985, Waverly High School would allow for 9th grade enrollment.[4]

Waverly Senior High School offers football, basketball, baseball, tennis, hockey, soccer, swimming, girls golf, cheer leading, bowling, and cross country. Students are also able to receive letters for academic achievement while participating in sports.[5]

Robert Herzing

[edit]

Robert Herzing was a 32 year old teacher at the school who was arraigned on September 16, 2024 on alleged charges of attempted sexual misconduct with a minor. A decoy by the name of "Ryan" would begin communicating with Robert Herzing on May 2nd, 2024 on the Grindr app. He was then put under arrest on September 12, 2024 at 10:15 PM at the Delta Township Library after an attempted meetup with said decoy. When searching through his vehicle after the arrest, Police found numerous sex toys, anal lube, and a knife.[6][7]

On March of 2024, Herzing was put on paid leave previously after the school administration overheard him having sexual conversations with his students. He would advise students on how to have anal sex, and would be given a handwritten warning by the school district.[8]

Waverly Community Schools claims that they never knew Herzing was under an investigation until September 13th and placed him on paid leave again immediately after finding out.[9]
