Preparing the Whole Child for a Life of Success!

January 12, 2021

Our District Mission is: Preparing the whole child for a life of Success”!  This too was on display at WHS Monday night with the FBLA students competing in the District Competition against other FBLA teams in the northern part of the state.  Mrs. Harless leads this team with High Expectation as they have received Statewide entry for their exhibition of Business Concepts, skills, and practices.  Good luck to these students for starting early at becoming the Future Business Leaders of America; Walton County is a hub for this kind of Innovative Learning and a wonderful place not only to live, worship, raise a family, but to work.  We believe these students will play a great part in the continued Economic Development that’s happening in our county.  Superintendent Hughes stopped in to encourage these students.

January 12, 2021

Walton High School was “The Place To Be” last night as some of the brightest and well rounded students in the WORLD put to competition their Academic Knowledge displayed and put to test at our Academic Team Meet!  Wow…..Is an understatement of what these students know, have learned, and are able to supply under the pressure of a time clock/limit, in the presence of their peers, teachers and viewed by parents through technology.  EPIC may not give justice to the level of awesomeness these students exemplify in this setting.  Thanks teachers and sponsors for making it happen for these students; times that will forever be treasured even during the challenges of a pandemic!

Mossy Head School Teacher and ESP of the Year

Mossy Head School would like to announce and congratulate our Teacher of the Year, Ms. Leslie Coone, and our ESP of the year, Ms. Carolyn Ingram.  Ms. Coone is a veteran teacher who continues to develop her instructional methods in order to create a positive, energetic, and yet academic centered classroom. She not only supports in her class, but also supports students and staff school wide. She has played an important role in the development of MHS's House System over the last few years, especially in acquiring the RCA House app for our school this year.

Ms. Ingram always has a smile and offers a helping hand to anyone in need. She not only helps provide healthy meals for MHS students, but also takes time to get to know students and build relationships with them. The care and concern she shows for others helps individual students and supports Mossy Head School's overall goal to create a positive learning environment. Thank you and congratulations to you both, Ms. Coone and Ms. Ingram!

Sean of the South Zooms in to Speak to WMS Teachers

January 6, 2021

Sean Dietrich, perhaps more commonly known as Sean of the South, joined WMS teachers after lunch on Tuesday, January 5th, delivering a live, virtual message via Zoom straight from his travel trailer turned office.  A celebrated columnist, blogger, and social media phenomenon, Dietrich, who makes his home right here in Walton County, authentically writes about southern life and its people and places.  In his moving talk to WMS, Sean shared how two specific teachers (one after his father's suicide and another during his first college class) connected with him, recognizing his talent and encouraging him to write.  Sean reminded WMS teachers of the universal truth that all the good ones know--that relationships and connectedness matter, perhaps now more than ever.  After speaking then reading one of his stories "Teacher", Sean then opened the floor for teachers to ask questions.  Walton Middle School thanks Sean Dietrich and his wonderful wife Jamie for their graciousness--the time they took to make this event possible as we enter the new year and new semester.  No doubt, Sean's inspiration will empower teachers to go forth and do what they do best--"change the world."
