MHS has a new activity this year, Academic Decathlon. Students compete against students from other schools and are ranked by their G.P.A. On Saturday December 6, Marsing students competed in the first event of the year. Husky students took home 5 medals. They were:

Katie Huffman, Bronze English Language and Literature, Scholastic Division

John Heidt, Bronze Social Sciences, Varsity Division

Andre Heidt, Bronze Social Sciences, Scholastic Division

Seleste Estrada, Bronze Art, Scholastic Division and Gold Language and Literature, Scholastic Division.

Congratulations to them and coach Ms. Freeman!

Super students

Many people, both in the school and out have made a point to tell me what great kids we have at Marsing High School. Students that go out of their way to hold a door open for someone, picking up some trash that the wind has blown when no one is looking, helping a fellow student understand a math problem, being courteous to athletes from other schools during a competition, and the list can go on and on. If you have had a sighting of a super student, please make an entry here and tell others about him or her. We have a lot to brag about at Marsing, and our students are at the head of the pack!
