Dear MCS Family,
Welcome back for what promises to be an exciting and fulfilling school year! This year, more than ever, we are focused on our vision for the future—one where every student thrives, every educator inspires, and every family is engaged.
Our expectations are clear: be focused, be present, and most importantly, be somebody. These are more than just words—they are the foundation of our commitment to excellence. By being focused, we remain dedicated to our academic goals. By being present, we ensure that every moment counts. And by being somebody, we each contribute to the success of our entire community.
We have a full and exciting year ahead of us, filled with opportunities for growth, learning, and achievement. I encourage each of you to embrace these opportunities with enthusiasm and a sense of purpose. Together, we will accomplish great things.
Let’s make this year our best yet!
Sincerely,
Grant

Special Recognition
The Marietta City Schools Board of Education recognized Marietta High School ninth-grade students Anastasia "Ana Grace" Parker and Zoe Toles for being named Performance All-Stars during the 2024 Junior Theater Festival in Atlanta.
Last spring, Ana Grace and Zoe were honored for their exceptional dedication and theatre presence on stage during their time at Marietta Middle School. This summer, Zoe's passion took her to New York City, where she was one of a select few chosen to work with theatre professionals at Musical Theatre International. Ana Grace, equally committed, spent her summer at theatre camp, where she furthered her skills and deepened her love for musical theatre.
Congratulations to Ana Grace and Zoe for their outstanding success!
