History

The school's history dates back to 1880. At that time, there were two school districts, one in Verona and another in Walton. The two consolidated into one school district in 1935. A grade school was maintained in Verona, and a high school in Walton became known as the Walton-Verona Independent Schools. Walton-Verona Middle School was constructed in 1954 as a high school,^{[clarification needed]} with additions in 1962, 1973, 1989 and 1993. A new high school wing was constructed in 2007.^[3]

The school's athletic teams are known as the Bearcats.
