We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Throughout my years at Marion County I had plenty of opportunities to get involved and really enjoy high school. A lot of my teachers where really great and had a great past of teaching. I believe that my school could do a better job of focusing on what kids will expect in college. This could be achieved even while working on the required material.

We have a police officer in the school building and a school nurse that travels between all of the county schools. When the school nurse is not there (never seen her) there is a health teacher who was a nursing before becoming a teacher.
