Marion High School was well represented at the MISD Summer Institute! This year's theme based on the show Friends

Our 4th Summer Institute begins August 4th and we are ready! The Summer Institute is a two day conference with keynote speakers and over 50 break out sessions which are led by our teachers and local experts. Keynotes this year's keynotes are Dr. John Almarode and Dr. Joe Sanfelippo. This event is organized by the Marion Independent Instructional Coaching Team and is for all Marion Independent administrators, teachers, and associate staff. The theme has been a secret until now - can you guess what it is? #MISDOwnYourFuture #MISDinspire #MISDTheOneWhereWeLearnTogether!
