Why and how do you "supposedly" not have money for a football field but you have money to make all of the unnecessary changes that will have to be made because of a new name. So how do you pay for new uniforms for all sports and a band? Could someone please explain??? Leave well enough alone!!

You can change the name all you want...it is human nature that people will still call it Walker. Just like they call hwy 118; 78 hwy. I have read how people "cringed" when someone called it Walker Counry; then let me suggest they move!

I'm a proud Walker Viking!! Class of 88! I bleed black & gold! Please reconsider the name change or at least let the public have a say in it!! You must be aware of all this attention!! Keep the tradition going for generations to come!!

I believe it is a very bad mistake to change the name of a landmark school. Oftentimes, officials believe it's all in the name of progress, but really it defeats the purpose because you uproot great loyalties and miss opportunities to rebrand a landmark well-known & well-loved to other generations!

Should the parents and past graduate been asked in a public forum about this vs someone saying hey let's change the name. Makes very little sense. Leave it alone...

All that tradition will be lost. I really wanted my grandson to graduate as a Walker Graduate. But, really it won't kill me if they prefer to use the Jasper name.

Leave things alone, I graduated from Walker County High School in 67, the time to have changed the name would have been in 72 when it became a city school.

Have they looked into the extra cost it will take to change the name of the school, with uniforms for all the sports, contracts, letterhead, forms, licenses, etc.
