Senior Night 2020
Congratulations to Chloe Philo and William Bennett; they are Marion's Homecoming Queen and King 2020.
Congratulations to Marion's Cross Country Girls' Team for their 2nd place finish in Mesick yesterday. Coach Keeler commented that "Stand out racers include Jordan Woods, Maddie Sutten, Karma Levine all putting in PR performances for the varsity... and Olivia Bobon, Kirsten Levine, Lylah Levine, and Maddox Lodholtz for the JH squads. Olivia actually was the 3rd place finishing girl overall". Great job Eagles.

Marion Jr./Sr. High School is excited to announce we will host Senior Night and Homecoming on Friday, October 2. The Senior Night celebration will begin at 5:15. We will be honoring band, football, and cheer team seniors. The Homecoming ceremony will follow immediately after. Social distancing MUST be followed at all times for everyone and face masks must be worn by all in attendance. Remember, the focus at these events is the student, being a spectator is a privilege; this is the only way we are going to be able to continue allowing our students to participate. Tickets are not required for these events; however, we will clear the stadium once the ceremonies are complete. You will need a spectator ticket for the football game.
The Lady Eagles beat the Brethern Bobcats in 5 sets. They are now 3-0 in conference play. Great job girls! Next game is Thursday at Mason County Eastern.
