Marion Independent School District is planning our 3rd Annual Mental Health & Disabilities Resource Fair for all area families who have students with disabilities, mental health issues, and/or other differences that may impact daily life. This event will be held Thursday, September 18th from 5:00pm-7:00pm at Marion High School.

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!
