Standing here, in front of Walnut Glen Academy for Excellence, you can almost feel the energy of the past flowing through the building. This school has a rich history, though it may look like just another school from the outside. It first opened its doors in 1970, but it wasn’t always an Academy for Excellence. For over a decade, it was known as Walnut Glen Elementary School, just a regular school for the neighborhood kids. But, in 1988, everything changed. Walnut Glen became a magnet school. It started accepting kids from all over Garland, not just the neighborhood. These students weren’t just attending any old regular school. They were chosen because of their gifted talents, whether in academics or the arts. Walnut Glen also became home to a special program that encouraged music and art among the students, turning it into a hub for young talent. This wasn’t just about learning the basics, it was about nurturing the unique abilities of every kid who walked through these doors. Walnut Glen Academy for Excellence has been striving for that for over 30 years, leaving a legacy of creativity and excellence that echoes throughout the city.
