Dear Walker Students and Families,
I am honored to return to Walker Intermediate as Principal for the 2023-2024 school year! This year marks my eighth year at Walker and my sixteenth year serving the Summit Hill School District 161 Community. Prior to joining the staff at Walker as Assistant Principal, I served as a social worker at Dr. Julian Rogus Elementary School for eight years. I look forward to continuing my commitment to the Walker students, staff, and families this school year.
At Walker, we share a commitment to nurturing the whole child through creating an environment in which students can take risks, set, and achieve goals, and create positive relationships with one another and our staff. I am most proud of our dynamic team of teachers and support staff who through your partnership, have a shared commitment to creating a safe, nurturing, and welcoming learning environment for each of our students. As the 5th and 6th grade school for our entire district, we are fortunate to have the very best qualities of all four of our feeder elementary schools coming together for the first time since kindergarten. The years they spend at Walker are important ones on their educational journey and we encourage our students to take advantage of the many opportunities they will have to become involved in our school community.
On behalf of the Walker Staff, I thank you for visiting our school webpage and welcome you to our school community. It is my great pleasure to serve as your child’s principal and I am committed to their safety, academic growth, and social emotional well-being during their time at Walker Intermediate School. Please do not hesitate to reach out if I can be of assistance to you in any way.
Sincerely,
Maura K. Carroll
Principal, Walker Intermediate School
