A message from Dr. Lindsay:

Marion Giant families,

In light of COVID-19, the IHSAA has modified the physical exam requirement for participation in school athletics. All athletic physicals completed and submitted for the 2019-20 school year will continue to be valid for the 2020-21 school year. 

Specific details of school athletics are still being discussed and planned for, in line with guidance from local, state, and national health officials. Once athletics resume, we know there will be some students who don't have an athletic physical on file, even with the extension allowed this year by IHSAA.

Information regarding Marion Community Schools' next weekly drive-through food pick-up can be found below. 

Food will be available for all children age 18 and younger in Marion, as supplies last. Some requests, for your safety and the safety of all involved:

- When possible, please only have one person per car (the driver).

- Please wear a mask or other covering for your mouth and nose.

- Please stay in your car.

- No walk-ups are allowed. 

- No restrooms are available.

- Thank you for your patience!

Every year, Marion High School hosts the 3.5 Banquet, which honors students who have ended their high school years with a GPA of 3.5 or above.

In addition, each student honoree is able to invite adults who have encouraged them along the way, such as a special teacher. 

This year, due to school closures mandated to help slow the spread of COVID-19, Marion High School put together a virtual 3.5 Banquet. You can view the video here:

All Marion High School underclassmen will be keeping their same lockers for the 2020-21 school year, so there is no need to collect personal items left behind. Personal items will stay in the lockers until we return to school.

If you have an urgent need for an item that was left at school, we can schedule a pickup upon request. Please call or email us if you have an urgent need.
