This month we celebrate our school board members who volunteer countless hours to guide Marion Independent and ensure every student has the opportunity to succeed.
Because of you, classrooms become communities, challenges turn into progress, and every student is given the chance to succeed and grow.

WAMAC Meet Report: The 7th Grade Girls Track Team had tough competition Friday at the WAMAC meet at West Delaware but represented Marion well. The 7th grade team placed 4th as a team and did it with good sportsmanship, respect for all competitors, and showed the Marion Way. Coach Menken is very proud of how our girls represented MISD, treated all athletes with respect, stepped in to fill relays, and gave 100%. The 8th grade girls showed up and performed well at the WAMAC conference track meet at West Delaware on Friday. The team finished in 4th place against some very stiff competition. Coach Kenny was pleased with how all of the girls continue to set new goals for themselves after surpassing their previous bests and cannot say how pleased he is with these girls and their performances. The girls have their last meet of the season on Tuesday, May 12th at Vinton-Shellsburg.
