Eagle Flyer

Dear Walnut Hills High School Families:

The first full week of school has wrapped up. It has been wonderful to see the hallways bustling once again and our students eagerly diving into their courses. Last week students attended homeroom sessions and were able to receive important information regarding School Counselors, academic supports, campus life, and how to get involved in the Walnut community. Our students were impressive in their respect and attentiveness. We appreciate your support with morning drop-off and afternoon pick-up. Please remind your students that prior to 7:50 AM, they must report to the cafeteria, senior high gym, junior high gym or library. We are so excited to host our first home football game and can’t wait to see our entire community wearing blue and gold! Thank you all for a fantastic start to the year. We look forward to keeping the positive momentum going. Let's rise to the highest!

Ashley Morgan

Interim Principal
