Celebrating a Remarkable Year and Looking Forward to Summer!
As the academic year draws to a close, I want to extend my deepest gratitude and congratulations to our incredible students, dedicated staff, supportive parents, and engaged community for another truly outstanding year at Walton-Verona Independent School District. It has been a year filled with growth, learning, and countless moments of success, and I couldn't be prouder of what we've accomplished together.
This year, our district continued to shine in so many ways. I'd like to highlight just a few of the many achievements that exemplify the hard work and dedication within our schools:
Academic Excellence Across All Levels: Our students have once again demonstrated remarkable academic progress. We saw continued improvements in standardized test scores, with many of our students exceeding state averages. Furthermore, our high school celebrated a record number of students earning college scholarships and achieving industry certifications, preparing them for bright futures.
Thriving Extracurriculars and Arts: Beyond the classroom, our students showcased their talents and passion in a wide array of extracurricular activities. Our athletic teams celebrated numerous victories and displayed exceptional sportsmanship. Our performing arts programs delighted audiences with captivating performances, and our visual arts students earned well-deserved recognition for their creativity. These programs continue to play a vital role in developing well-rounded individuals.
Strong Community Partnerships: The strength of our district is truly bolstered by the unwavering support of our community. From parent volunteers in our classrooms to local businesses and city government sponsoring and partnering in school events, the collaboration between our schools and the Walton-Verona community has been exceptional. This partnership is fundamental to our shared success and the positive learning environment we provide for our students.
These accomplishments are a testament to the collective effort and unwavering commitment of everyone involved in the Walton-Verona Independent School District. To our graduating seniors, we wish you the very best as you embark on your next adventures – we are incredibly proud of each of you. To our returning students, we look forward to welcoming you back in August, ready for another year of exciting challenges and achievements.
As we transition into the summer months, I encourage all of our students to stay engaged, read, and explore new interests. To our staff, I hope you enjoy a well-deserved break to rest and recharge.
On behalf of the entire Walton-Verona Independent School District, I wish everyone a safe, relaxing, and wonderful summer break! We can't wait to see what next year holds.
Sincerely,
Dr. Matt Baker
