Paxton's elementary students enjoyed watching and participating in the presentation on flight by the Atlantic Coast Theatre Company. 

"Flight" is brought to the us through the generous funding provided by the Mattie Kelly Arts Foundation.  A.C.T. for Youth is an acclaimed professional touring theatre company based in Orlando. 

Mankind has always been fascinated with the skies, the stars, and reaching new heights.  FLIGHT! combines creative staging, original music, audience participation, & multi-media elements into a theatrical production that explores the stories of flight including the Wright Brothers, Amelia Earhart, The US/Soviet "Space Race", & NASA's many accomplishments.  Students are challenged to think about the future of flight, and perhaps be inspired to become pioneers reaching for the stars themselves.

Paxton High School’s AP Psychology class was honored to have the Walton County K-9 unit visit and demonstrate how they use classical and operant conditioning to train their dogs. Students were able to see their vocabulary terms in the unit put into action through the demonstrations and explanations given by the officers. Thank you to Kristin Pond and Kayne, Steve Tector and Drago, and Damon Byrd and Jester for an incredible experience.  Submitted by Kalli McMillan.
