Walhalla High School has received a $500 grant from the ExxonMobil Educational Alliance program to support the school’s technology program. Bounty Land Petroleum worked with school officials to secure the grant which is one of 4,000 available to schools across the country served by Exxon or Mobil stations. The grants were made possible by funding from the Exxon Mobil Corporation. Walhalla High School would like to thank David Land and Bounty Land Petroleum for their generosity.

He is a 2-time All-State AA player and was the Golden Corner Offensive Player of the Year in 2007. Rob also won the Wendy’s High School Heisman in 2008-2009 for excellence in academics as well as athletics.
