"Walnut might be small in size but big in presence. I’ve found that many people outside this area know about us and that is why I believe we have so much potential for growth."

Even a child understands that community requires no signage or zoning map, that home is where you can be the barest and most genuine variation of yourself in the presence of those you love.

"Education with small town values should not be underestimated. In my opinion, the science program at Walnut is a national benchmark for good learning."

Over the years many men and women have poured their heart and soul into making Walnut a special place to live. People are always willing to work together and help one another and that is a special thing to be a part of.
