The Marion National Honor Society and Cross Country Team had a blast volunteering at the Ragnar Michigan Road Race! The NHS ensured the first relay hand-off at Exchange 1 in Traverse City went smoothly. The Cross Country Team built the finish line and welcomed the first few relay teams across the finish line in Muskegon. From start to finish, that's OVER 200 MILES OF RUNNING in a day and a half! One of those teams included some familiar faces. They started at 5am on Friday and finished at 5:20pm on Saturday 20 MINUTES AHEAD OF THEIR PROJECTED TIME! The team ran a total of 201.7 miles and averaged a 10:52 minute per mile pace! Great '25 finish to team "In my Ragnar Era!!" Thanks for being such awesome role models.

✨ Homecoming festivities are underway! ✨

Our morning kicked off with the football team greeting elementary students as they arrived at school, then sharing breakfast together. Players visited classrooms, joined in a brain break, and helped students start their day with Eagle pride!

The cheerleaders and band later joined the fun for a high-energy elementary pep assembly where the Eagles cheered their hearts out. 💛🦅

We’re off to a great start to Homecoming Weekend! 🎉

Marion’s 4th graders visited Gingrich Farms and Rose Lake Campgrounds for Project R.E.D. On the farm students learned about manure, milking, cows and got to witness a live birth of a calf. At the park students traveled station to station learning about forestry, fire and electricity safety, honey bees and casting a fishing poll.

The 7th grade Ancient History Class has been exploring how early peoples communicated. Earlier this year, a cave paintings activity focused on illustrating culturally important parts of their life. Currently they are exploring the Fertile Crescent civilizations. One new cultural aspect which developed in this region is written language. Students wrote a short sentence or two, translated it into Cuneiform (a language where symbols made of wedge shaped patterns represented words and syllables) and then into Phoenician (an early alphabetic language). I am sure no middle school parent is surprised that 6-7 somehow made it into this activity.

✨ Good things are coming to the Marion High School Gym! ✨
Here’s a sneak peek at the brand-new scoreboards that will be installed before basketball season 🏀.

This exciting upgrade is made possible by the hard work and dedication of the Marion Athletic Boosters. Through concession stands and fundraising, they provide our student-athletes with new equipment and facility improvements that strengthen our programs and enrich our school community.

👏 Thank you, Marion Athletic Boosters, for everything you do for our athletes and Marion Schools!

Last week Marion Cross Country traveled up to Holiday Hills for WMD Jamboree #2, hosted by Grand Traverse Academy. It was hot and there were hills; half the course seemed as if it were uphill! Both the Middle School and Varsity teams didn't let that head game get in the way of a great race.

What really sets Marion Cross Country athletes apart from others though...after the tough race was over, after everyone was exhausted, while all the other teams were packing up to head home...WE decided that the big ski hill in the center of the course needed to be climbed. So we did!

A BIG shout out to 6th grader Cassandra! She PRd at this meet with a time over 50 seconds faster than her last race!

Week 2 Wrap-Up: Marion Dominates!

Another week in the books, and Marion High School is showing some serious strength in the stock market game! 💪 Six of our eagles have cracked the Top 10, proving they're here to play.

A huge congratulations to Jacob Arnold-Crowe for leading the Marion pack and securing the #2 spot overall across the region! He is followed closely by Chase Meyer at #3 and Cameron Prielipp at #4. It's a tight race at the top!

Great work everyone. Let's keep researching, keep climbing, and take over that #1 position! Go Eagles!

The Stock Market Game has begun in Mr. Judd's class! Weekly markets were mixed with a lot of movement in Tech and investors positioning for a FED interest rate decision coming this week.

"Never Forget." The phrase that defines a generation of Americans. To complement the district's classroom lessons which ensure the promises from the past are upheld, the Cross Country Team paid tribute to the first responders by completing the 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb.

2100 vertical steps on our home bleachers to help this next generation "Never Forget" an event they were not yet alive to remember.
