Walker alum and 'Napoleon Dynamite' producer visits Lower School

Wyatt’s other piece of advice to students is to always work on their imagination.

“Working on your imagination is the most important skill because if you can hold on to that creativity it gives you a competitive advantage in terms of life skills and business,” he said. “The more creative solutions can often disrupt and innovate and give you an advantage no matter what industry you’re in.”

 

When Wyatt was asked what differentiates Walker from other schools he said: “I valued the private school education I received, so that’s why I send my kids to private school. But where I live (in California), most of the private school are affiliated with one religion or another.

"They’re great schools, and I send my kids to those schools, but I liked that Walker was not affiliated with one religion. It was a place where you would meet Jewish students, Hindu students, and there were students that my kids don’t share a classroom with, and I think that’s a loss.

“I’m sorry that there’s not something like Walker I can send them to.”

Wyatt has also given a nod in his shows and book to a couple of people who were influential during his Walker career – Don Robertson, former Walker Head of School, and Upper School teacher Jean Bayer. Robertson’s name was used for the villain Multi-Farious in “Stretch Armstrong and the Flex Fighters,” and Bayer’s character is in “Alien Bones.”
