Walton High School had three students compete in the contest. Hayden Arnold, Ashton Black, and Carleigh Davis competed as representatives of both Walton FFA and the Walton Leadership Class. Carleigh Davis placed 2nd in the contest!
Each student did a phenomenal job presenting their speech. From the pasture mealybug to the giant African land snail, our students educated the audience on the importance of identifying, and preventing, invasive species. Their speeches also included the Florida agricultural organizations that play a part in protecting Florida agriculture from invasive species.
Congratulations to Carleigh Davis for placing 2nd! We are so incredibly proud of our students and their participation in this event!
Friday, September 4th is an early release day. Please reference school communications channels for specific release schedules.

What better way to kick off the school year than with bubbles?! 🫧
Mrs. Wright’s AP Psychology students spent their first day blowing bubbles, having fun, and making connections between how the activity made them think, feel, and behave and the different units they’ll explore throughout the course. 🧠💭❤️
From sensation and perception to learning, emotion, cognition, and beyond, these students are already discovering that psychology is all around us—even in a bubble! 🫧
Here’s to a year full of curiosity, connection, and discovering what makes us think the way we think! 🧠✨

We recently recognized some of our outstanding teachers for their exceptional student achievement on recent state assessments.
Awards were presented for:
⭐ Highest Proficiency
⭐ Highest Learning Gains
⭐ Most Level 5 Scores
To make the celebration even more fun, our winners received GOAT (Greatest Of All Time) trophies, along with special crowns recognizing our Kings and Queens of Proficiency, Learning Gains Champions, and Level 5 Champions!
These awards represent more than test scores. They reflect countless hours of planning, reteaching, encouraging, and believing in students every single day. Behind every data point is a teacher who refused to give up and students who worked hard to achieve success.
We are incredibly proud of our staff and grateful for the impact they make on Walton students each day.
Congratulations to our award winners, and thank you to all of our teachers for helping our students continue to Level Up! 💙🤍🩶🏹
