Our Impact
Class Size Reductions
Each year the administration applies the funds we raise to hire the best combination of part-time or full-time teachers based on needs identified by the administrative leadership.
Successive campaigns have supported:
2023-2024 Full-time English position and part-time business elective
2024-2025 Full-time English position and part-time counselor support
2025-2026 Full-time English position and part-time social studies/government position
Smaller class sizes have a direct correlation with the following:
Student achievement – resulting in higher GPA and more scholarship opportunities
Student/teacher relationships
Improved skill sets
Lower tutoring expenses
Student preparation for college
Reducing class sizes has increased the effectiveness and frequency of writing assignments, classroom discussions, oral presentations, and science labs.
Consider the benefit of smaller class sizes for your student. There are few investments where your donation could have as direct an impact on your student’s future.
Landscaping and Gardens
Landscaping
Each year the Walton High School Foundation allocates a significant portion of funds to help maintain the beautiful landscaping and gardens on our property. Many of the maintenance and landscaping needs of our beautiful school are not funded by state or county dollars. This foundation holds true to our original purpose by providing the much needed funding and resources required to support our custodial staff in keeping our facilities something we can all be proud of.
Gardens
The Foundation also maintains several gardens, many of which have been installed to celebrate the legacies of wonderful Walton community members.
Flexibly Fulfill Needs
The Foundation flexibly fulfills the current needs of the Walton community. Some of the current needs being addressed are:
* Health & Wellness
* Capital Improvements
* Teacher Grants, including management of a donor-funded grant providing teachers funds for continuing education.
* Additional building improvement items such as trash cans, hallway beautification, a bike rack, improved floor wax, etc.
