Our mission: Learning and growth for all students!

The purpose of Marion Community Schools is to prepare all students to achieve their greatest potential, and to participate productively in an ever changing global society.

Critical thinking, creativity, knowledge and understanding, healthy habits, and collaborative practices are all essential to student learning. We strive to provide educational experiences to effectively prepare students to succeed today and in the future.

As a public school, we meet students where they are and work to provide the support and guidance needed to move them where they want to go!

We value our working relationship with our families and our community. We can build a GIANT future together!
