Joe Walker Elementary School is a part of the McGuffey School District. This elementary school is located in Lagonda, Pennsylvania on Park Avenue (Pennsylvania Route 18). Students living in South Franklin Township that are in fifth grade are transferred to Claysville Elementary School due to insufficient space in the Joe Walker Elementary building.
The Name of the School
Joe Walker Elementary School was named after Joseph Albert Walker in honor of his accomplishments of making two flights beyond 100 kilometers - the edge of space. Joe Walker's childhood home is approximately 1/2 mile down Route 18 (towards Washington, PA) from Joe Walker Elementary School. [2]
