MHS school counselors Ms. Gammill and Mrs. Johnson spent an afternoon with many representatives from Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU) gathering great information and insights to bring back to Marion students.

Learning to Protect, Support, and Advocate for Children!
Mrs. Chrestman’s Pre-Educator students recently completed Mandated Reporter Training, taking another important step toward becoming future educators!
Students learned how to recognize signs of child abuse and neglect, understand their responsibilities as educators, and help create safe, supportive learning environments.
Teaching is about more than academics. It’s about caring for children, earning their trust, and standing up for their well-being.
We are proud of these Marion Patriots for preparing to make a difference in the lives of children and the communities they will one day serve! ❤️💙

Inspiring the Next Generation of Educators!
Mrs. Chrestman’s Introduction to Educational Technology students traveled to Little Rock to attend the Educator's Rising Fall Leadership Conference.
Throughout the conference, students had the opportunity to strengthen their leadership, communication, and teamwork skills while connecting with future educators from across Arkansas. They explored the importance of professionalism, collaboration, and making a positive impact in the classroom. Students also gained valuable insight into opportunities available through Educators Rising and how they can become leaders in the field of education.
Experiences like these allow our students to learn beyond the classroom, build confidence, and see the important role they can play in shaping the future of education.
We are proud of these Marion Patriots for taking another step toward becoming tomorrow’s educators!

On Friday, October 30th, the HBCU Awareness Foundation is hosting a college fair for students interested in attending a Historically Black College or University. This event is off campus and during the school day, but transportation will be provided. Students should sign up with Mrs. Johnson in the counseling center by noon on Monday, October 19 if they would like to attend.
Someone is dead. But they weren’t supposed to be.
This week, the MHS Theatre Department presents “This Murder Was Staged” at the Marion Performing Arts Center, a whodunnit turned completely on its head. When the wrong person ends up dead, the night spirals into secrets, suspicion, and more twists than anyone saw coming.
And just when you think you’ve cracked the case, the play delivers one last surprise: It has TWO possible endings. Which one will you see?
WHERE
Marion Performing Arts Center
SHOWTIMES
Thursday through Saturday at 6 p.m.
Sunday at 2 p.m.
TICKETS
Adults: $10
Students with school ID: $5
Come see how the mystery unfolds. After all, it’s only a play... right?

Marion High School was invited by the Dean of the UCA Art Department to attend the 2026 Annual Mid-South Sculpture Alliance Confab!
Attendance was made possible through a grant offered to to MHS Art teacher Ms. Elliott and up to five students from the dean of the UCA Art Department, Dr. Bryan Massey. At this event, Ms. Elliott and her students were able to attend art demonstrations, artist talks, and artist panels about several different topics and events happening in the art world concerning all things sculpture.
They also got to visit the Baum Art Gallery. The gallery currently had student artwork on display from the Art and Humanities Department at UCA! It was quite impressive, and our students loved seeing other artwork produced by other students.
This was a huge honor for MHS to attend, considering that MHS was one of only three other schools invited to attend on a grant.
