The pride of the city is our schools. These include Marion County High School, Guin Elementary School & pre-school and Liberty Christian Academy. The city in an effort to prepare our children for the increasingly competitive high tech global economy decided to put a one cent sales tax in place. This tax has been very helpful by providing greater access to technology and the ability to enhance their skills in the math & science fields. Because of this commitment Marion County High School is now an Alabama Math and Science Initiative School. The city has given over a million dollars to the schools and they now have three state of the art computer labs with a computer to student ratio of 3 to 1, a fully equipped science lab.

A public message from our Superintendent of Education:

I want to strongly encourage you to be involved and informed about your child’s education in the Marion County School System. We will strive to provide an environment that is safe, one that is conducive to learning, and one that will promote and encourage student, parent, and community involvement.

We will maintain high expectations for our students and faculties even though we know we will have huge hurdles to overcome financially. I look forward to working with each of you to prepare our young people for success.
