In honor of our veterans and their families, Marion County Schools and offices will be closed Tuesday, November 11, 2025. Veterans Day began as Armistice Day on November 11, 1919, to commemorate the end of World War I. Congress made it a legal holiday in 1938, and in 1954, it was renamed Veterans Day to honor all U.S. veterans of all wars, not just World War I. President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed the bill changing the name. We thank all of our schools that celebrated veterans and their families today with special activities and lessons.

We train. We try. We triumph. We do work to Change Your State. On behalf of Healthy Harrison and the Board of Directors, Marion County Schools is excited to celebrate the outstanding participation and enthusiasm shown by both East Fairmont Middle School and West Fairmont Middle School in this year’s Change Your State Challenge.
These two schools share a proud and spirited rivalry, but over the past six weeks, they’ve been united by something even greater — a shared commitment to health and wellness.
Through this challenge, students were encouraged to focus on three daily goals — Mind, Move, and Eat — while learning from local health experts about how small changes can make a big difference.
Their hard work has truly inspired us. In recognition of that effort, Healthy Harrison is awarding each school $250 for their dedication and teamwork.
The Change Your State Challenge began in Harrison County and, thanks to the leadership of Dr. Donna Heston, has now expanded into three additional counties — including right here in Marion County.
And now, the moment we’ve all been waiting for…
The winning school was chosen based on three factors:
1. Percentage of student participation,
2. Overall engagement, and
3. High participation levels.
Thanks to Dr. Heston and the Marion County Board of Education, the winning school will receive a $5,009 grand prize to support healthy projects within their school.
So without any further ado the Winner of the 2025 Marion County Change Your State Challenge is West Fairmont!
