Marion High School is an accredited public high school in Marion, Arkansas, United States. Established in 1911, Marion High School is one of four public high schools in Crittenden County and the only high school of the Marion School District.
History
The first Marion High School began in 1911 with construction of its first building completed in 1912 and housed all grades and then subsequently served solely as a high school and later as a middle school until the 1990s.[2]
In recent years the Marion School District has absorbed students from smaller nearby districts due to state mandated consolidation—most recently Crawfordsville (2003) and Turrell (2010).[3] Previous consolidations and expansions added the communities of Jericho (1947), a small portion of adjacent West Memphis (1953) and with integration Sunset (1968).[4] The current facility dates from 1970, but Marion's schools were founded in 1869 and the first High School opened in 1911.[5]
Athletics
The Marion High School mascot is the Patriot with red, white and blue serving as the school colors.
For 2012–14, the Marion Patriots compete in the 6A Classification—the state's second largest—in the 7A/6A East Conference administered by the Arkansas Activities Association. The Patriots may participate in basketball, football, tennis, track, cross country, baseball, softball, volleyball, soccer and golf.[6]
