“Walther has been a very big influence on who I am today. The school has become my second family and home and has given me the opportunity to not only excel academically but grow stronger in my faith and relationship with God. The teachers are not only dedicated to helping the students learn but to build relationships and be someone we can lean on when other problems pop up. I am truly grateful for all that Walther has done for me.”
