Tomorrow, March 18th, the Marion County School system will transition to distance learning for teachers, staff, and students. All buildings will be closed due to the potential for a significant weather event. The weather will potentially be worse in the morning when our buses and car riders/drivers are on the road. There is a potential for high winds, tornadoes, and loss of power.

As of today, Governor Kemp has opened COVID vaccines for educators. We plan to offer vaccinations to our faculty and staff on Friday, March 12, at the high school in a drive-through format. This may cause some congestion near the gym area. This is a very positive step in the process of moving back toward normalcy and keeping people safe.
