High School Highlights
Weekly Updates from Big Walnut High School
November 2, 2018
November is here! Our second quarter is now in full-swing. The start of the winter sports season is right around the corner and our clubs and organizations are actively involved in community service, promoting school pride and engaging our students outside of the classroom. Friday was our group picture day for the yearbook as well as our October Prize Patrol. Next week brings our annual Alumni Hall of Fame program, our order day for Jostens class rings and graduation products, and our district's annual State of the Schools event (see below).
As always, please don't hesitate to reach out to your child's teachers, school counselor or the administration if you have any questions or concerns. Feel free to contact the main office at 740-965-3766 between the hours of 7:00 and 3:15.
