"Readin', Writin' & Rithmatic"

Members of the WHS Class of 1949 especially remembered teachers such as Cerkvenik, Olness, Olstlund, and Wallin and carried their lessons throughout their lives. In 1896, earlier students attended school in the Court House on Main Street. In 1906, a permanent school building was constructed at the present school site. In 1936, the WPA built an addition that opened the year the class began kindergarten. Another addition was built in 1950, and the original building was destroyed by fire in 1965. In the 1990s, school consolidation joined Walker with Hackensack and Akeley, changing the Walker Warriors into the Wolves from WHA. The new curriculum included an Indian Education Program and a Community Education Program. Walker also has Immanuel Lutheran Elementary School south of town.
