        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.

The purchase of these bricks is open to current students and parents as well as WJ alumni.
