We received word late yesterday that Walnut High School was named a 2026 California Distinguished School for being "Achievement Gap Closers". The state describes recipients of this honor as "Schools that are accelerating academic progress for two or more groups that have been historically underserved, while also demonstrating achievement for all students that is above the state median and maintaining or increasing academic performance for all students." We could not be more proud of your hard work and dedication to serving all of our students.
