From Our Athletes
Scholar-Athletes
At Walker's, my teachers were also my coaches. It gave me the opportunity to get to know them outside the classroom whether it be on the fields, the slopes, or the courts.
EWAC
Walker's sports would not have been the same without my coaches and teammates. They care about me not just as an athlete but also as a student. They made me see that there is always room for improvement.
College Athletes
Walker's prepared me very well for college, especially being an athlete. Walker's taught me to maintain a balance of academics and sports.
