On April 22, 2024, the 2nd Annual Marion County School System Retirement/Awards Banquet was held in the MCMHS gym to honor special employees. Mr. Jamie Penoncello, Superintendent of Marion County Schools, initiated this celebration last year for employees who have distinguished themselves in some way. FCCLA members contributed to this event by serving the food catered by A & R.

Along with honoring the retirees, the Eagle Award winners were honored as well. L.K.
