Walnut turns old school into new community center

    WALNUT -- In May 2016, students walked out of the Walnut school for the last time. After 144 years of operation, the City of Walnut took possession of the building to create a Walnut Community Center.
    After years deciding what to do with the building and planning, the City of Walnut took possession of the building in early May.
    The school is made up of three sections; the original schoolhouse built in 1913, the high school building built in 1961 and the middle portion of the building built in 2000.
