I have been a student at West Marion High School sense kindergarten West Marion has taught me to always be authentic with my school work and never give up. West Marion might be a small school but the principals over the years and the different staffs has always pushed us to always try your best and life your high school experience to the fullest. I would like to see a change in more sports options.

The social aspect of the school is okay and the teachers to well with what they have to work with. BUT overall, they had forgotten about me as part of their student body MULTIPLE times, and I'm not saying about the little things. I'm talking about things that matter like being on the list to receive a diploma or the list to even check to have honors or special honors. Or maybe the fact as a new student they didn't even try help me and give me a school tour. Before looking to send your child to West Marion High School, maybe see what the other 4 schools in the area have to offer.
