History

High school students from Florence started attending Marion High School in the fall of 1971 after the Florence High School was closed in the same year.[8]

Academics

The high school is a member of T.E.E.N., a shared video teaching network, started in 1993, between five area high schools.[9] The high school has a library for student access.

Extracurricular activities

Sports

The Marion High School mascot is a Warrior. All high school athletic and non-athletic competition is overseen by the Kansas State High School Activities Association. For 2010/2011 seasons, the football team competes as Class 3A.[10] Recently the City of Marion and Unified School District 408 jointly build a gymnasium and indoor swimming pool. Located just south of Marion Elementary School, the pool is open all year round and the gym features a walking track above a sunken gymnasium floor.[11] The bond issue that financed the project also built a new auditorium on the Marion High School campus.
