High School Highlights
Weekly Updates from Big Walnut High School
August 17, 2018
The hallways and classrooms of Big Walnut High School were alive and filled with action this week as we welcomed back our Golden Eagles for the 2018-2019 school year. This week brought our largest freshman class yet, with just over 300 students. Class meetings were held on Friday to inform and excite our students for this school year.
Next week will bring our Curriculum night, on Wednesday, at 6:30. We hope you can join us. And looking ahead, school pictures will be on Tuesday, August 28.
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.
