Today, our ASB students held a Stang' Street Food Fest & Market where multiple clubs on our campus had the chance to sell Boba, Portos, Lumpia, Ice Cream, Spam Musubi, handbags, Jewelry, and other items to our students. All proceeds went directly back to the clubs. It was a great opportunity for our clubs to fundraise and mix things up during lunch before heading into Spring Break.

We want to wish everyone a safe and relaxing Spring Break! Use the time to rest, rejuvenate, and recharge before we hit the last six weeks of the semester.

Walnut High School’s Wolf Corp. competitive robotics team is just days away from taking on their biggest challenge – the FIRST World Championship in Houston, Texas, on April 19-23.

This is the third year in a row the team qualified for the mega global challenge, but the last two years were canceled due to the pandemic.

The determined members said they reacted with much excitement and maybe even shed a few tears.

Walnut High Community Club voted to increase seating and shade for our students at lunchtime. WHCC ordered 16 tables for $20,000 and 20 umbrellas for $1,550. We are excited to announce that 5 tables were delivered this week, and 11 more should arrive after Spring Break! While we understand it’s not always possible for all our 2200 students to have lunch at a table in the shade, we strive to increase seating and shade when our budget allows.

We see this as a long-term investment as these heavy-duty tables should last for many years. There are many more opportunities for more tables and umbrellas around the school, so we hope to raise more funds soon.

The front office will be closed during Spring Break (April 11-18) and will reopen on Tuesday, April 19 when our students return.

Congratulations to Junior, Jolleen Olia, who was named 1st Team All San Gabriel Valley in Girls Basketball. You can click here to see the official press release from the SGV Tribune. Congrats Jolleen!

The Walnut High School Girls Volleyball Program will be hosting their 1st Annual Golf Tournament on Wednesday, June 1, 2022, at Los Serranos Golf Club. This event raises vital funds to support our girl's volleyball program.

Our goal is to always provide a safe, instructive environment for all of our athletes to learn and develop skills to be better volleyball players, but more importantly, productive members of society and fielding a competitive program.

To continue to make this experience a reality for our program, we are reaching out directly to area businesses, family, and friends and offering the opportunity to help by becoming a sponsor.

Included in this letter is a brochure with a variety of sponsorship packages for you to review and details about the tournament. All donations to our volleyball program are tax-deductible.

Our GLCs held a College Application and Financial Aid Information Night over YouTube Live. Below the video contains the Frequently Asked Questions during Financial Aid Night 2021.

This short video provides a variety of College and Career Readiness Resources for this years Seniors.

Students must attend every class, every day, and be on time. In order to receive daily credit, students are to bring all necessary materials to class. Students will not be excused from class to get materials. Homework and class assignments are to be completed on time and to the best of the student’s ability. Only behaviors befitting the learning environment are acceptable. Students are to comply with all reasonable requests of any staff member. Dress code will be enforced.

Attendance is an essential part of each student's educational plan at Walnut High School. A parent/guardian must contact the attendance office for full-day absences by the end of the day. This procedure helps us fulfill required attendance monitoring obligations and helps ensure our students' safety.

Any student who arrives 30 mins late to school must check in to the attendance office either with a parent/ guardian or a phone call from their parent/guardian.

If a parent/guardian wishes to dismiss a student before the end of a typical school day, the parent/guardian will have to check out the student and must present their ID to the attendance office.

Attendance Reporting Hotline:

10 & 11 Grades: 909-594-1333 Ext. 43642

9 & 12 Grades : 909 - 594-1333 Ext 43625

Due to safety concerns, we DO NOT accept student lunches in the office. We understand the importance of student nutrition, but we encourage students to either purchase lunch at school or bring their lunch from home. Food, drinks, or other items are NOT to be passed to students through the fence. This is STRICTLY PROHIBITED.

Please Note: Parents can now access the Food Services Department from our website under the Parents tab. On that page, parents can set up and deposit funds into their student's lunch account for purchasing lunch on campus.
