*Please keep in mind that although COVID positive cases may represent a student or staff member within the WCSD, it does not necessarily indicate that the virus originated within the WCSD. It is also important to note that a portion of the positive cases involve individuals who may have never entered the school setting while sick due to proper quarantining.

Freeport High School’s Morrigan Burnham was recently honored by Governor Ron DeSantis for her PERFECT score on the state’s Biology end of course examination! Congratulations to Morrigan on her recognition and to Biology teacher Amy Baker for her work in the classroom!
Congratulations to Walton Middle School art student Bethany Waites for having her artwork selected as the Walton County representative in the Art in the Capitol Competition. Bethany's artwork will be displayed in the Florida Capitol in Tallahassee during the 2022 Legislative Session.
In July of 2016, the Florida Legislature passed, and Governor Rick Scott signed, House Bill 701 establishing the Art in the Capitol Competition, a statewide visual arts competition for Florida students in grades 6 through 8. Each school district is required to hold an annual art competition with artwork judged by a selection committee consisting of art teachers. The winning art from each district is then displayed in the Capitol.
On Monday, November 8, 2021, Principal Jason Campbell and Superintendent A. Russell Hughes congratulated Bethany and her art teacher, Brittany Grant, for this achievement.
This is the fourth consecutive year that the Art in the Capitol Competition winner from Walton County School District has been a student at Walton Middle School, with art teacher Brittany Grant.
Ava Kight moves on to State qualifying as an individual!
