Students with perfect attendance (no absences or tardies) all week received ice cream sandwiches today, courtesy of WHS FBLA! As an added bonus, Mr. Warren and his members shared this cool treat with WHS staff. Next week, we'll draw for the last $25 gift card. Still to come is our GRAND PRIZE — a pair of Apple AirPods!
It's always a great day to be a Walton Brave!

Now we wait for the next round . Either way, both of you embody what it means to EPIC in Walton County. Way to go!
Anchor Club, FBLA, Key Club, and our Walton High students were excited to share in the spirit of giving this season! Together, they were able to provide 50 hams and turkeys, along with 50 brown bags of food, to families in our community.
A heartfelt thank-you to our students, parents, and local businesses whose generosity and support made this effort possible!

Other incentives just around the corner include ice cream sandwiches (for all students with perfect attendance during the week of December 1-5), another $25 gift card, and the 𝐆𝐑𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐏𝐑𝐈𝐙𝐄 — Apple AirPods!

While in attendance, Carleigh Davis and Chloe Bendure had the opportunity to network with other agriculture students from across the state, hear from current UF students, and learn about the Agricultural Education and Communications (AEC) program. They also had the opportunity to tour the campus & learn about the history of UF, scholarship opportunities, and how to become a Florida Gator.
Thank you to the AEC faculty for hosting this event and inviting our students to join!
Throughout the month of November, our teachers are nominating students they're especially thankful for — students who brighten our campus, work hard, show kindness, and make a positive impact every day. Join us each Thursday as we celebrate and congratulate these outstanding Braves! 💙 We’re proud of our students and grateful for the incredible things they bring to our school community.
⭐ 𝐓𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐌𝐜𝐍𝐞𝐢𝐥 (nominated by Mrs. Kristin Weinstock): Trent is always so kind to everyone around him, regardless of who he is grouped with. He is such a hard worker every single day with a smile on his face.
⭐ 𝐄𝐝𝐝𝐢𝐞 𝐎'𝐃𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐞𝐥𝐬 (nominated by Ms. Jolene Pentz): Eddie goes above and beyond to help with anything we need. He helps not only our students but our teachers, as well. He is trustworthy, kind, and very helpful.
⭐ 𝐍𝐢𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐚𝐬 𝐂𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐡𝐚𝐧 (nominated by Ms. Leslie Harrison): Nicholas works hard in class. He is always eager to tackle whatever I throw his way.
⭐ 𝐆𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐢𝐞 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐠𝐞 (nominated by Ms. Arielle Rhodes): Gracie is a positive person with a heart on fire for Jesus. She always makes a point to say good morning to everyone, making her peers feel seen and loved. Her joyful attitude and kind spirit have such a powerful impact on those around her, and she never fails to brighten my day. Gracie is truly the sweetest!
⭐ 𝐃𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐞𝐧 𝐘𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬 (nominated by Mrs. Brandy Shambo): Darren is always in a good mood, hard working, and willing to help others. He enjoys a good joke and since he is in my first class of the day, he helps my day begin on a positive and happy note.
While they didn't advance as a team, they did have two girls make it individually due to their consistent play throughout the season. Seniors Fountain and Andrews represented Walton at the Regional Tournament in Jacksonville yesterday. Out of 66 girls that were invited, they finished in the middle of the pack.
Remind your child about the importance of attending school. Every period. Every day!

“It’s a moment of pride for our students who have worked so hard. I have been the principal of Walton High School for 5 years, and we have improved every year. Our kids have gotten on board with the culture of taking rigorous classes and making sure they are prepared for college and career. This award goes to show that their hard work is definitely paying off,” said Brianna Leavins, the principal of Walton High School.
We couldn't have said it better, Ms. Leavins!
