I really enjoyed my time at walker high. All the teachers and the principal is absolutely amazing. The students can be a little uncalled for. But there are so many opportunities given at this school.

The uniform dress code gets stricter every year, the food is terrible, and the majority of teachers are unmotivated to do anything. There are some superb teachers, but they are rare.

it's hard to explain or describe what i've liked and what i haven't. i like the friendships i've formed i like my teachers most times i like pep rallies and going to football n basketball games i love our dance team and cheerleaders. i don't like decisions the staff makes i don't like the way things are handled most times i don't like how inconsiderate the administration can be either.
