Every Student. Every Classroom. Every Day.
"This group of dedicated Wildcat teachers and staff, and several who were unable to be present for the picture has helped MHS grow our graduation rate by 14% in just two years. That kind of progress happens when people come together with a shared commitment to helping students succeed-one student and one classroom at a time. Every Student. Every Classroom. Every Day. Proud of the work. Proud of the progress. And we're not finished yet. Go Cats!" Mr. Joe Williams, MHS Principal

Meet Ed Ellis!

After 23 years of service in the U.S. Air Force, retired Master Sergeant Ed Ellis continues to serve his community as a pastor in Southern Illinois. Ed also served in communications and deployed to Kandahar, Afghanistan.

This September 11 and 12, Ed will join Freedom Sings USA in Marion to share his experiences and turn his story into an original song with one of our Nashville songwriters.

We’re honored to have him with us!
