About

District History
The Walton and Verona Graded Schools enjoy a rich history dating back to 1880. At that time there were two school districts, one in Verona and one in Walton. The two districts consolidated into one school district in 1935. A grade school maintained in Verona and a High School in Walton became known as the Walton-Verona Independent Schools.

The present elementary was constructed in 1971 and has several additions in the 1990s and in the 2000s to accommodate growth. Walton-Verona Middle School was constructed in 1954 as a high school with additions in 1962, 1973, 1989 and 1993. A new High School wing was constructed in 2007. The Bridge Program resides in the former Preschool Building. A new Early Childhood Center was built in 2019 and is located behind the District Office. The Walton-Verona Athletic Complex is located in Verona.

The communities of Walton and Verona are proud of their independent schools. Walton-Verona Schools have always maintained high academic standards and have produced well-rounded, productive citizens. Land has been purchased by the Walton-Verona Board of Education in Verona for future use.  Currently, we are wrestling with rapid student growth (current enrollment approximately 1600 students) Adding additional classroom/educational space is a priority.
