Today Marshall High School joined thousands of schools across our country to celebrate Decision Day! Congratulations the our seniors who have secured plans for meaningful work, enlisted to server our country in the United States military or who will be entering into post-secondary education in the fall. We are proud of you!

Thank you to Lisa Dover with Table of 5 Catering for being our guest speaker for Cookies & Careers: Culinary. Lisa shared how packing after school meals for their children's sports teams has turned into a successful catering company with mobile catering and food trucks. If you have ever joined us for our beloved food truck day-they are the ones with the delicious wood fired pizzas! Lisa and her husband, Scott, have no culinary background, but are an example that hard work, dreams, and determination can equal success.
Senior Families-
We are hosting our last FAFSA Frenzy night this week. February 13th, from 5-7. If you'd like help submitting your FAFSA forms, stop by, we are here for you!
Shout out to Watermill Clothing Company for being today's Cookies & Careers: Entrepreneurship guest speakers! Karson and Kassidy took interested students on a journey of what started as a sketch on paper and a dream of three sisters and has turned into a patented design and international business relationships. They inspired students to understand that if you have creativity, resilience, self discipline, a dream, and are a risk taker-you can be an entrepreneur too.
Thank you to our counseling team and Derek Bohnsack from Missouri Valley College for hosting our FAFSA Frenzy last night. We had a great turn out and lots of families were able to get their FAFSA forms submitted! If you were not able to make it, we will hold another FAFSA Frenzy event on February 13th.
