Last weekend, Walnut High School was named a California Democracy School at the Richard Nixon Library in Yorba Linda. The award was given to schools that show extraordinary dedication to civics - whether providing forums for healthy debate, campaigning on community issues, or partnering with local groups to effect change.
In addition to being named a California Democracy School, all of our Seniors will receive a State Seal of Civic Engagement on their diplomas when they graduate in two weeks.
A big congratulations to our Social Science department & thank you for embedding civil discourse lessons into their curriculum throughout the school year.
