The Walton County School District is a public school district in Walton County, Georgia, United States, based in Monroe.

It includes all portions of Walton County except for areas in Social Circle. Its boundary includes, in addition to Monroe: Between, Good Hope, Jersey, and Walnut Grove, as well as the Walton County portion of Loganville.[4] It also serves the communities of Bold Springs and Campton.[citation needed]

The district received national attention in 2025 when a video of a teacher at Walnut Grove High School surfaced that showed him writing a racial slur on a classroom whiteboard while students cheered.[5][6][7]
