Congratulations Mr. Eduardo Estrada!
It is with great excitement that we announce Mr. Eduardo Estrada as the recipient of this year’s Lions Club Teacher of the Year Award!
Mr. Estrada regularly and consistently goes above and beyond expectations when servicing our emerging bilingual students. For over a decade, Mr. Estrada has parallel-taught with general-education teachers across all curriculums, ensuring that our emerging bilingual students have access to learning.
As Mr. Estrada is always looking for ways to combat language barriers to learning, he initiated the use of a “Tour Guide System” for himself and his students. Ultimately, he and his students are connected by a microphone and headphones so that he can actively translate what the general education teacher is teaching to his students in live time.
This addition allows our students to learn alongside their peers. Mr. Estrada consistently translates materials for our staff and students and takes the lead on ACCESS testing for our students at HMS. He is an absolute value added to our school community.
Please join us in congratulating Mr. Eduardo Estrada on this well-deserved honor. We are grateful to have him in our district as he continually inspires and helps our students grow on their academic path!

Watching young minds at work! Today, our students are diving into the physical properties of matter by exploring oobleck. They're making keen observations and trying to classify its state of matter. It's amazing to see their curiosity and excitement in action! #ScienceClass #FutureScientists #HandsOnLearning #OobleckFun

The 8th grade students in Mrs. Hannoun’s & Mrs. Puhr’s Science classes built igloos in class this week. The students applied scientific principles to design, construct & test a device that minimizes thermal energy transfers.






Emma and Leylani (2488) at Walker were the leaders of the community service crochet coaster making project. They helped make 60 coasters for The Summit Senior Housing Center showing kindness for Valentines Day.
Walker's Student Council does at least one community service project a month!
