Sometimes all it takes to have the confidence to pursue your dreams is meeting someone who has done something similar! Students at Freeport Middle School got to meet and interact with professionals ranging from Doctor of Chiropractic to concert pianist to entrepreneur and more! In Walton County we are committed to Developing the Whole Child - and that includes learning early that no matter what interests you, you'll be prepared to pursue it upon graduation!

Congratulations to the Walton County Academic Team for an outstanding performance at the Commissioner’s Academic Team Challenge, earning a third-place finish in Division 3! These students demonstrated broad knowledge, quick thinking, and EPIC Collaboration as they tackled a wide range of high-level questions.
Hosted by Florida Commissioner of Education Anastasios Kamoutsas, the Academic Team Challenge was established to showcase and celebrate Florida’s top student scholars. Over the years, the competition has evolved to include more teams and increasingly demanding questions, requiring students to not only be intelligent, but able to work as a team as well!
Their success is a reflection of their dedication and intellect, but also of the preparation and support behind the scenes. We are beyond proud of the way these students represented Walton County and showcased their academic prowess right alongside their professionalism!

This weekend, members of the Walton County School District family took the stage to perform Gustav Mahler’s Symphony No. 2 (“Resurrection”) with the Pensacola Symphony Orchestra. Symphony No. 2 is one of the largest symphonies ever written and involves more than 200 musicians—including the addition of a full chorus. Two of our choral directors, Michaela Moore (Walton Middle School) and Andrew Moore (Walton High School), sang in the choir, and Public Information Officer Dr. Joshua Bledsoe has been a member of the orchestra since 2012.
Experiences like these highlight the value of real-world engagement. When educators and staff remain active in their fields, they bring deeper insight back to the classroom, strengthening the connection between learning and life beyond school.
