Marion High School
In 1991 there was a proposal to move other grades to Marion High so it would have more than grades 9-12. Larry Twachtmann, the principal, supported adding 8th graders, numbering 95 that year so they could access more high level classes, but believed adding those in grade 7, having the same enrollment number, would cause the school to have too many students.

= Mascot Change
=On February 22, 2021, the school board serving the Marion School District voted to remove the past mascot of an "Indian" and begin transitioning to a new one. Before the vote was taken the School District reached out to Native American tribes within the state to garner opinions on whether or not to keep the current mascot of an "Indian." After much discussion, it was made obvious that the mascot wasn't acceptable and the school couldn't move forward into the future without a rebrand. The school than turned towards the student body to make a decision on what the new mascot should be. After nearly 3,000 votes were cast, the new mascot the "Mavericks" was chosen by nearly half of the participants. Other potential mascot names of "Red Storm" and "Red Wolves" were options as well within the survey.
