If you've driven down Walton Rd recently, you've probably seen quite a bit of earth moving between Grace Church and Faithful Friends Animal Clinic. You've been driving past the future home of the new District Office. For decades, the school district has utilized the Historic Tivoli Complex and through that time Walton County has grown by leaps and bounds. Thus, it was finally time to move. It will be an EPIC testament to the success of the students and community! Monday marked the official ground breaking!
SWHS Baseball won tonight! A 3 Run Walk-off home run by Coleman Borthwick sealed the deal to head back to the Final Four state playoff for the 2nd consecutive year. Congratulations Coach Borthwick, the entire staff, and community!
