  • Astronomy at DeMiguel 

    DeMiguel Elementary School is fortunate to have Walker Observatory located on campus.  Walker houses a 14" Newtonian reflector.
    Thanks to tax credit monies, donations and grants, Walker also has several portable telescopes and solar filters, so observing can take place during the day or in the evening. 

    The main telescope was built by retired educator and avid amateur astronomer, Kenneth Walker.  Just prior to his death, his family donated the telescope and dome to DeMiguel.

    You might say that education on the space shuttle began April 12, 1981. Even though no official education payload was aboard Columbia, astronauts Robert Crippen and John Young ignited a spirit of exploration in young people around the globe as the shuttle lifted off on STS-1. Visit the commemorative NASA space shuttle education site and read about some of the education projects that flew on Atlantis, Challenger, Columbia, Discovery and Endeavour. Learn about educators who became astronauts. Trace the history of the shuttle and learn about the resources created during 30 years of space shuttle missions.
