Marion County Principals, Assistant Principals, and Central Office Administrators strive to be lifelong learners. We have participated in two years of administrative leadership training that involved both individual coaching at the school level and system whole group training. Kacy Pierce, Denise Woods, and Cheryl Capps were our trainers and mentors. During the process they have become partners and friends of Marion County Schools.


Between preparing healthy meals, adhering to strict nutrition guidelines, and offering service with a smile, school nutrition professionals are true heroes. School Lunch Hero Day is the perfect opportunity to recognize the hardworking professionals in our school cafeterias.
