      • WJ Education Foundation Brick Sale

        As part of Walter Johnson High School's renovation, a custom brick walkway was installed between the building and tennis courts. The walkway has over 300 engraved bricks, but we have room for more. You are invited to be a part of this project and of WJ’s legacy by contributing a permanently engraved brick for the walkway.Your bricks can be engraved with the name of a student, family, teacher, coach, club, or team and will remain a permanent part of WJ. Funds raised will go to the WJHS Education Foundation to be used to support student programs, staff development, and enhancements to WJ's media center and other facilities. The purchase of these bricks is open to current students and parents as well as WJ alumni.
