Last weekend we mentioned the 50th anniversary celebration for Walton High School that’s coming up on Saturday, and reached out to the Cobb County School District, which is putting on the event, for more details.
Here’s what they’ve sent out this morning:
Walton High School is celebrating a remarkable milestone—50 years of Raider pride, tradition, and achievement. Since opening its doors in the fall of 1975, Walton has grown into one of the top public high schools in Georgia and has earned a national reputation for academic excellence, innovation, and student success.
The community is invited to commemorate this golden anniversary on Saturday, April 19th, with a special open house and festival on campus from 1:00–4:00 p.m.
