“I have a tremendous amount of pride in the Class of 2022, and I am excited to celebrate their graduation,” said MHS Principal Paul Johnston. “Our students have worked hard over the past several years, overcoming numerous challenges including seeing their entire high school career impacted by a worldwide pandemic. Yet they have all persevered. They have made it. I am happy they will get this public recognition of their accomplishment.”

Approximately 310 graduates will make up the Class of 2022, including 15 early graduates. The graduation ceremony will include an opening speech by a student; remarks from Johnston and Dr. Glen Fenter, superintendent; and the presentation of diplomas by Johnston and members of the Marion School District Board of Directors.
