Senior's Last Day
The day included a walk through the high school, a special lunch together, and a bus trip to visit the elementary schools where many of their journeys first began. It was a meaningful opportunity to return to their old stomping grounds and reflect on how far they have come. Now we look ahead to graduation on May 27, when we will celebrate their accomplishments and send them off to their next adventures and opportunities. Congratulations, Class of 2026 — we are proud of you!

The City of Walker will host its first Safety Town program this summer, giving young residents the chance to learn practical safety skills through hands-on activities with local first responders.
Registration is now open, with space limited to 20 participants in the inaugural session.
Safety Town is designed for children between kindergarten and 3rd grade and introduces them to everyday safety topics such as pedestrian awareness, bike safety, fire prevention, and basic first aid. The program uses an interactive “mini city” environment where children practice real-world situations like crossing streets, recognizing traffic signs, and responding to emergencies.
The four half-day program is planned for June 22-25 at Zinser Elementary and will run in morning sessions from 8 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., giving children repeated opportunities to practice safety skills while building confidence and independence. Learn more and register online.

New Raptor Visitor Management System
As part of our ongoing commitment to providing safe and secure learning environments, we are excited to announce the implementation of the Raptor Visitor Management System beginning this school year.

When visiting our school, guests will check in at the front office by presenting a government-issued photo ID. The Raptor system will:

TRANSPORTATION BEFORE AND AFTER SCHOOL CAREOur Personal Mastery educational experience has redefined education and has gained attention around the state and nation. Personal Mastery provides your child with personalized attention from teachers. Instead of teaching to a broad group of students without an understanding of their individual strengths and weaknesses, Personal Mastery allows teachers to interact with students individually or in small groups to help them better address their weaknesses. In this way, we strive to help your child reach their full potential.
