Walker alum Charlie Condon (Class of 2021) is crushing the ball at the University of Georgia. Charlie, not highly recruited out of Walker, is now projected to be a top pick, if not THE top pick, in July’s MLB draft and is being compared to top major leaguers. This article from ESPN captures all of the hard work Charlie has put in to get where he is today.

'No one saw this coming': How the potential 2024 No. 1 MLB draft pick almost didn't play college baseball Georgia baseball star Charlie Condon is only two home runs away from breaking Georgia's career home run record.

Walker welcomed two alumni back to campus recently. Caroline (Kunetz) Tillman ('14, left) is the co-owner of The Reading Attic located on the Marietta Square. On March 2, The Reading Attic hosted a book signing for alum Jerry Logan's ('03, right) new book "Unbracketed: Big-Time College Basketball Done the Right Way". Caroline and Jerry were welcomed back by the Upper School students in an assembly where they had a fireside chat.

We were able to catch up with both alums and hear about how they are both following their dreams. You can read the article here: https://www.thewalkerschool.org/news-detail?pk=1577440&fromId=308611.

Support and celebrate two Walker alumni tomorrow, March 3, from 1-2 p.m. at The Reading Attic. Jerry Logan, Class of 2003, will be signing and talking about his books “Ubracketed” and “The Cinderella Strategy.” The Reading Attic is owned by Walker Alum Caroline Kunetz, Class of 2014. It is located at 21 West Park Square on Marietta Square above Tiny Bubbles Tea Bar. See you there!

Congrats, Grace!
