Jackie Auerbach Award

The Walton High School PTSA is proud to sponsor the Jackie Auerbach award. Members of the PTSA are well aware of the extraordinary contributions Walton Staff Members make on a daily basis not only to educate our children, but also to enhance their overall high school experience.
