Marion School

The Marion School was organized in 1887 and began classes that fall. Consolidation brought the community of Dolton into the Marion School District, beginning with the high school in 1944. Further consolidation brought the community of Monroe into the district in 1965.

The K-12 Marion Public School has an excellent academic curriculum, as well as many extra-curricular activities. 


The school district provides busing to serve the rural areas, as well as the neighboring communities of Dolton and Monroe.
