East Marion High School is a very great & understanding school for me . I would absolutely recommend to anybody who's new or wanting to feel at home at school. The community is great and so is the education. I have been to this school since i was in kindergarten & the love for it will never change. Things I would make different would be the campus such as the gym , football field & all other sports equipment . Overall, East Marion is one of the best schools ever.
