After graduating from Henderson State University in Arkadelphia, Arkansas, Donna Walker sought a coaching job in Texas. A job came open at the high school in Atlanta, Texas. She had never been to Atlanta. Several college friends had gotten coaching positions here and alerted her about an opening. During the summer of 1986, Donna was hired to coach girls’ basketball, girls’ track, and girls’ volleyball. Her first coaching job was big and broad. She tackled the position as school began in August 1986.
