==History==
Construction of Walton High School began in 1973 and opened in 1975. Various sections of the school have been renovated in the past, and entirely new halls have been added continuously, each time with their own distinct type of architecture and style. Throughout these many years of construction, especially in recent years, mobile classrooms, colloquially called "trailers," were added to accommodate for the classrooms rendered unavailable. A small number are still in use today, primarily for required Health classes and formerly for in school suspension.
