From County Science Fair last night to Math Field Day today, hosted by Pierpont Community Technical College, Marion County Schools students were tested and make us proud!

When “Teach Us Tuesday” doesn’t fit the schedule, then it's “Why Not Wednesday” this time. Child Nutrition Director June Haught and Executive Secretary Janet Polng visited West Fairmont Middle School where Chef Patrick gave them a lesson on the tilt skillet. They cooked up homemade sloppy joes today. While they mastered the skillet, the can opener seemed to be their biggest obstacle.

We train. We try. We triumph. We celebrate all of the school winners and their families and teachers who advanced to the 2026 Marion County Schools Science Fair tonight, hosted at West Fairmont Middle School. A complete list of winners will be posted tomorrow to officially celebrate their advance to the Regional competition. Until then, celebrate the students' hard work that was on display tonight with us. 🧬🔬🥼🧪🔭 A special thank you to the judges and our coordinators who supported our students' love of all things science tonight.

Marion County Schools hosts the county-wide Science Fair on January 6, 2026. This showcase brings together school winners in the Science Fair for county-wide competition. Congratulations and good luck to our students and teachers for this exciting night.

Doing good because it matters! The West Fairmont Middle School JV and Varsity Basketball Teams collected food and filled up the blessing boxes on 9th and 10th street for Christmas today. 🎄💙

We couldn't have said it better than Supervisor of Maintenance Andy Price said today, "guys and ladies, we all have kept Marion County Schools afloat through some trying times this year with facilities, and it's been all of us."
