Greetings from the Superintendent

Dear Students and Parents:

The Marshall County School District's teachers, administrators and support staff look forward to meeting with parents and students as we begin to work together for each child's educational success.

We realize that you, as parents and community members, have high expectations. The MCSD is focused on providing innovative, challenging and high quality educational experiences for all of our students. We will work closely with parents and community groups to listen and to collaborate on issues of curriculum, communication and parent involvement.

Even in the face of Mississippi's recent budget crisis and its effect on the State's schools, the MCSD continues to provide a balanced and challenging educational program with great variety and rigor. Our district continues to emphasize the goal of more powerful teaching to improve student learning. The state content standards in English, Language Arts, Mathematics, Social Science, Science and Co-curricular Activities form a basis for instruction in our classrooms. These standards are the benchmarks for all students. Our objective is to better prepare students to meet more demanding graduation requirements, earn their diploma and continue into either a higher field of learning or the workforce prepared. Our teachers and administrators continue to develop and implement new strategies for getting extra help to those students who need it.

You are an important participant in your student's education. We thank you for the support you have given us thus far, and request that you continue to assist us in making things better for our students each day.

Thank you for entrusting your child's educational preparation to our professionals. Together we will prepare your student for an exciting future.
