Name a Classroom

The Walton Foundation is pleased to offer businesses, neighborhoods, groups of friends and families the opportunity to leave a permanent impression at Walton by naming a classroom. Take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to leave a lasting legacy at Walton High School. When you choose to sponsor a classroom, an etched glass plaque will be placed at the entrance to the designated classroom with the name of the business, family (families), neighborhood or honorary designee of the donor’s choice. Additionally, there will be a listing of all sponsors and their classroom numbers on a Directory Plaque at the front of the new school. All classroom naming gifts are tax deductible and all proceeds will benefit the Walton High School community. See one of the classrooms that have already been named by the Lee Family.

To participate in this unique opportunity, please either fill out the Name a Classroom Form or contact the Foundation to have a Walton Foundation Board Member contact you to discuss your classroom choice and plaque wording. Each $5,000 classroom naming donation can come from an individual or a group of individuals combining their donations to reach the $5,000 donation amount.

A Beautiful Day of Landscaping

Students (Gavin L, Kate W, Jax R, Will D, Davis K, Katelyn L, Ethan L, Aiden B, and Jasmine G) helped the Foundation on a beautiful day this past Saturday, Oct 17th make our school grounds more beautiful by cleaning up and laying mulch in the two memorial gardens on either side of the front entrance of the school, as well as the memorial garden outside the lunch area.

Thank you!

SuperMatch Helps Students Find Their College “Perfect Fit”!

(Part 3 of the Parent Naviance Exploration Series)

Naviance’s SuperMatch makes it easy for students to explore thousands of potential colleges from their Naviance Student Dashboard. Students can use this tool to discover colleges that are a great fit, both in terms of what the student is looking for in a college experience and a good match for their academic profile.

The program’s intuitive search function and onboarding cues ensure students can get started quickly. Over 50 tool tips are now included throughout SuperMatch to help students understand common – and not so common- college terminology. They can choose to filter their search based on 90 data points that make it easier to find the best-fit educational institutions. Search Filters include retention rate, financial information, student profiles, application deadlines, minors offered, online learning opportunities, average class sizes, tuition costs, support offered for learning disabilities, and many more.

Based on their profile and search criteria, students can see an in-depth, side-by-side comparison of higher education institutions and easily pinpoint colleges that are the best fit for them. Academic Match provides students with insight into whether colleges are a safety, match, or reach school based on their GPA, SAT and ACT scores. Results show students exactly how their Fit Score was determined and how they compare to the institutional averages.

Students can easily export their top matches to their “Colleges I am Interested In” file. The SuperMatch platform can be a valuable tool a student can utilize as their expectations for their ideal college evolves during their high school career. For more information, please review the SuperMatch Reference Guide.
