Marion County High School regrets to inform the public that we will not host a prom this year due to COVID concerns. However, we do expect to obtain some end-of-year normalcy for our Seniors in the way of a traditional, yet socially distanced, graduation and Awards Night ceremony. Currently, both of those events are scheduled in late May and will be held outdoors.
The yearbook staff needs candid pictures of Seniors during their L.K. Moss or MCMHS years. Group pictures are preferred. Please send them ASAP to yearbook@marion.k12.ga.us.
A schedule of important meetings has been posted at https://www.marion.k12.ga.us/article/407518?org=marion-county-middle-high-school. These meetings are for current students/parents regarding 2021-22 scheduling and information. Zoom links to meetings will be posted in "News."
