Walker School Graduation!

On Friday, June 24th approximately 25 students will graduate from Walker School. Many of them will go on to attend school in less restrictive school settings. Thanks to the hard work, caring, and dedication of the Walker staff, all will leave Walker better prepared to meet the challenges that lie ahead.

Graduation is a day to celebrate these successes. It is a day to congratulate Walker students for all of their hard work, and a day for Walker staff to congratulate each other for having the courage and perseverance to make a difference in the lives of children and their families.
