It's finally fall - the season of cooler weather, pumpkins, costumes, football and Homecoming. We hope you plan to join us on campus for Hoco 2019. Be there to visit with Mr. Guckert, Coach Blohm, Ms. Stricklen and all your favorite teachers. Be there to see what our Wolverines' football field (or
soccer
field for our "vintage alums") looks like today. Be there to enjoy The Varsity Food Truck (or to grab a sandwich, if you prefer). Be there so we can celebrate your individual or team state championships. Be there to connect with classmates, grab your Walker SWAG or enjoy our Fall Family Festival. No matter the reason, be there!

For the past few years, our school has partnered with a
syndicated radio show
in their efforts to send a personal Thank You letter to each member of the armed services at Thanksgiving. This year, we want to include all of YOU.
How can you help? It's easy! Simply write a thank you letter on 8.5 x 11 paper or smaller. (Please no glue, tape, staples, cardboard, glitter, greeting cards or photographs). Feel free to include your mailing and email address, and you may get a response.
Drop your letter(s) off on campus or mail them
before Oct 23.

Lt. Richard Parker (Class of ’88) has authored two books, serves in the U.S. Navy Reserve and has taught as a professor at three universities. He credits Walker and its faculty for setting him up for future academic success.
“My professors in U.S. Diplomatic History and History of Nazi Germany gave me high praise for my writing skills. Those are definitely a product of my Walker education,” he said.
