The Waltham public school system includes eight elementary schools, two middle schools, and one senior high school. The High school's mascot is a hawk. Previously, Waltham used to be called the 'watchmen' until it changed to Hawks.
Waltham is some distance from Boston proper and the surrounding cities, and maintains a distinctly different flavor. A number of high-tech companies have taken advantage of the lower cost of real estate to set up shop in the ring of office parks that dot the highway exits in Waltham, and swank restaurants and business-class hotels have sprung up to serve their needs.
Downtown Waltham's Moody Street offers its own brand of entertainment with a colorful assortment of shops, restaurants, and bars.
The city of Waltham is 8 miles west of Boston, Massachusetts on the Charles River.
Waltham is located near several important U.S. Interstate highways. Interstate 95 (which is also Route 128) runs through the western part of the city, Interstate 90 (also the Massachusetts Turnpike) is located just to south in Newton, Massachusetts, and Route 2 runs just to the north through Lexington, Massachusetts.
Waltham is partly surrounded by Interstate 95 (I-95), also called Route 128; hence Waltham is in the heart of Boston's Route 128 High Technology Corridor.
The MBTA commuter rail has two stops in Waltham as part of the Fitchburg-Boston Line, one in Central Square Waltham across from the City Hall, and one near Brandeis University.
MBTA Bus Service also covers the city (see WWW.MBTA.COM for specific lines, schedules etc.)
