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.
