Even after attending MCMHS for 4 consecutive years, grammar and proper usage of punctuation and capital for proper names are misused or not used at all. If you're going to leave comments for public viewing be honest about it. Marion County is a scam. The same people for many years have ran the town and community. Tricked parents in believing they are sending their children to one of the best schools in the state but they're not. Grades are meeting state requirements by giving failing students retakes on their test. You don't get a RETAKE in life.

Marion County is fabolous. It's the best school ever, its nice, you learn everything you need to about life, and your education. Marion County Highschool staff is excent. All six of my children has attended this school. Three are doctors, and three are in the politics feild.

Tri-County is a great school. We live right next to the Marion County line and I had a choice to send my child to Schley or Tri-County...I checked both schools out and let me tell you Tri-County is a great school...and it has a very great athletic department and I would send my child there...a hundred thousand times before I'd send him to Schley.
