Our amazing Hackleburg Elementary Principal, Mary Kennedy, and Hackleburg Elementary Reading Specialist, Amie Cantrell, represented Marion County Schools wonderfully at the ALSDE MEGA Conference in Mobile as an Alabama Reading Initiative Spotlight School. We are so proud of you!
Congratulations to Blaine McDuffa, Hackleburg High School's FFA President, for winning the ”Work Horse Award” at the 2022 University of Tennessee Livestock Judging Camp. This award goes to the hardest working individual in camp who put in the most effort to improve on their judging and reasons skills. The award is voted on by all of the camp counselors. There were students at camp from Tennessee, North Carolina, Florida, West Virginia, and Alabama. Shown with Blaine in the photograph is Abigayle Pollock (Head Livestock Judging Coach for the University of Tennessee). Way to go, Blaine!

HHS - Millie Ramsey, Alabama HOSA State President is attending the Alabama CTSO Leadership Summit in Opelika this week to learn new leadership skills to help her lead both at HHS & the state level this school year. She is also getting to network with all the other CTSO officers.
Hackleburg Elementary School has been chosen as a Spotlight School at the Alabama State Department of Education Board Meeting!
This prestigious honor goes to schools in Alabama that are implementing best practices in the Science of Reading with LETRS. A spotlight committee formed by Alabama State Superintendent Dr. Eric Mackey and the Alabama Reading Initiative visited many campuses over the last few months. As a Spotlight School, the elementary campus and faculty will welcome school administrators and reading teams from across Alabama to visit and observe their teaching practices to make sure every student succeeds.
The faculty and staff worked so hard this past year to make great strides in academics. When a child learns to read, their opportunities are infinite…Congratulations!!!
Hamilton HOSA- Madison Wilson has been named one of the recipients of a $1,000 scholarship to be given away at the 2022 HOSA International Leadership Conference June 22-26. She will also get to attend a scholarship banquet dinner while there. Madison, your hard work and dedication to HOSA at the state level and at Hamilton does not go unnoticed. Congratulations on this accomplishment!!
