Marion Junior High School

Our 9th graders celebrated BIG at their Good Behavior Party! Even though the rain moved the fun into the gym, it didn’t stop the laughter, games, and great memories. We are proud of these students for their hard work and positive choices all year long! 🎉👏 https://photos.app.goo.gl/cUUWtJ1iG4nSwV2k8

Take a look at all the community service hours our freshmen have submitted this year! 🎉 Just a reminder that all 9th grade students must have 75 community service hours before graduation! Students must document hours on the official district form and submit forms to Mrs. Johnson. Current 8th grade students can begin working on hours toward graduation the day after school ends, June 6th. Forms are available in the counseling center.

The Marion Patriot Pride Band program is pleased to announce the addition of two new staff members who will join the program for the 2026-27 school year.

Emily Norris joins Marion after working with marching band programs across west Tennessee and northern Mississippi, most recently at Lake Cormorant High School. Destiny Riddle brings a diverse background in music education, with experience in band programs throughout Arkansas and Oklahoma.

“We are excited to welcome Ms. Norris and Ms. Riddle to our band program,” said Marion Director of Bands Kristen Shepherd. “Both bring a tremendous passion for music education along with valuable experience in the classroom and performance settings. Their energy, talent, and commitment to students will make an immediate impact on our program. We look forward to the opportunities ahead as they help continue the tradition of excellence within Marion bands.”

The MJHS Art Club had the opportunity to visit the Memphis Brooks Museum of Art today and enjoy lunch on their patio. There’s nothing better than a day filled with art, creativity, and a little sunshine. ☀️🎨

Today, the MJHS Student Council spent the day serving our community at the local animal shelter, and it was such a rewarding experience! 🐾❤️ Our students walked dogs, played outside with them, gave baths, loved on kittens, and helped give these sweet animals some extra attention and care. We were also proud to deliver donations including blankets, food, bleach, soap, and other much-needed supplies. This community service field trip was a wonderful reminder that even small acts of kindness can make a big difference. We encourage everyone to support your local shelter by adopting, volunteering, donating, and most importantly, spaying and neutering your pets to help reduce overcrowding in shelters. We are so proud of our MJHS Student Council students for representing our school and community with compassion and servant hearts today! 🐶🐱

Thanks to the generosity of dozens of local professionals, 9th grade students had the opportunity to attend a college and career fair. Students visited different tables to learn about a variety of careers. Some required on the job training, a technical certificate, and up to a doctorate degree. In addition to learning about education required, students received first hand accounts of the most fulfilling and challenging aspects of professions as well. ASU Mid-South representatives talked to students about programs they can enroll in starting next year. This event was sponsored by F.O.R Club. We are so proud of our student leaders and thankful to have so many community partners visit our campus to inspire our students. https://photos.app.goo.gl/sUbGe9rQG4VudDL97
