Greetings Patriots, As a result of the continuing snow fall and dangerous road conditions Marion School District will remain virtual learning only for Thursday, February 18 and Friday, February 19. Due to internet outages that have occurred in our area no new assignments will be made for these two days. These days will be used to make up any work that students have yet to complete. We hope everyone is staying warm, safe, and even enjoying a little fun time playing in the snow.

We sure miss our students, but in the meantime... HCGC staff are living it up in these frigid temps! Go over to FB to see more photos & drop a photo of your HCGC student enjoying the this monumental ❄️💙winter wonderland💙❄️ in the comments!
