🏆 Meet Marion County's National Merit Semifinalists!

We recognized six Vanguard High School International Baccalaureate seniors as National Merit Scholarship Semifinalists, placing them among the nation's highest-achieving students. Out of more than 1.2 million students who entered the competition, only about 16,000 earned semifinalist status.

🏕️📖 Camp Read-A-Thon is back!

Madison Street Academy transformed into a reading campground complete with campsite-themed classrooms, pajamas, sleeping bags, special guest readers, and even visits from Smokey Bear, local first responders, and community leaders.

Students spent the day immersed in stories, learning, and fun while supporting their school through fundraising.

Now that’s a campfire story worth telling! 🔥📚

🌱 What starts with a seed can grow into something incredible.

Through the Fitness and Nutrition in Schools horticulture program, students are getting hands-on agricultural experience while learning where food comes from and helping create a more sustainable future for our schools and community. 🍅🥬

Last year, student-grown produce supported families, cafeterias, and culinary programs throughout the district.

Growing food. Growing knowledge. Growing opportunities.
