Hello,
My name is Kurt Walton, and I am excited and honored to serve as your Interim Middle School Principal. I completed a thirty-one year career in 2017 after serving as a history teacher, head basketball coach, athletic director, vice principal and principal. I served my final twenty years in the wonderful Newton School District. Upon my retirement, I was named the CEO of a tremendous local non-profit organization called Pass It Along. Most recently I have enjoyed serving as an interim administrator at several local schools and feel fortunate to have another opportunity here being a Bulldog.
My wife, Beth, was a math teacher at Wallkill Valley Regional and then a guidance counselor at High Point Regional High School. My two children, Rachel and Adam, both attended and loved High Point, went on to college, and are now working in their professional life. We lived in Wantage for thirty-one years and recently downsized to a townhome in Hamburg. Soon, we intend to move south and forge a new chapter in our lives.
Professionally, I believe that all aspects of educational life should revolve around Trust, Respect and Support; or as I refer to it, TRS. Rest assured that I will deal with your children, our community and school staff in the manner of TRS. Establishing a culture based on these values and principles will lead to stronger, more well-rounded academic students. Please feel free to stop in and visit me over the summer as our wonderful staff and I are prepping for a tremendous school year.
I will finish with this. I love students, and I believe in the value of instruction, learning, athletics, fine arts, specials, lunch/recess and all facets of education that transform our children. After serving in just about every type of educational capacity over the last forty years, I would do it all over again…
See you soon and enjoy your summer.
Sincerely and Professionally,
Kurt Walton
Interim Principal Frankford Township School
How do you paint in the summer? With water guns, of course!!
