All Marion County Schools will be on their regular schedules tomorrow, January 21, 2025.
Up-to-date information from the National Weather Service and the Marion County Emergency Management Agency indicates that the next several days have the potential for severe weather. Forecasts include the likelihood of extremely cold temperatures.
Our transportation department is preparing for the cold temperatures. Please be mindful of the potential for below-freezing temperatures as students go to bus pick-ups and head to school next week. Should there be a need for school schedules to be altered in any way, you will receive notification from the Superintendent.
All Marion County Schools will be closed Monday, January 20, for Martin Luther King, Jr. Day.
Thanks to all who made the annual 4-H Your Money Your Life event and the Occupation Station Career Fair a success! This event took place at the Hamilton Campus of Bevill State Community College and was open to all Marion County 11th graders.
Tomorrow, January 13th, all Marion County Schools will operate on a 2 hour delay. All buses will run approximately 2 hours later than normal, and classes will begin 2 hours later than usual. This will allow shaded areas more time to clear before school in the morning. Be safe!
Due to the inclement weather expected, ALL Marion County Schools will be closed tomorrow, Friday, January 10th. We will monitor the situation through the weekend and issue additional information as needed. Please be safe throughout the next few days!
Law Enforcement put their lives on the line every day. They've answered a call that is demanding and often unappreciated. The jobs are often thankless and take them away from their families for long hours. On this day, we have an opportunity to thank them for their service.

The Phillips High School JAG Chapter held their Officer and Member Installation Ceremony on December 11, 2024.
The Phillips High School JAG Chapter visited the American Village Citizenship Trust located in Montevallo, Alabama on December 4. During their visit, the students learned about the foundations of American liberty and constitutional self-government. This experience included the students engaging with members of the American Village cast who were in costume and character.
All students will dismiss tomorrow, December 20, at 12:00 to begin the Christmas holidays! We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Stay safe!
