At the end of every marking period the Marcus HS PTSA sponsors the Magnificent Marauder
Program. This allows each teacher at Marcus to select one student per class period that has
shown exceptional performance academically, has great enthusiasm, or has demonstrated
perseverance and/or improvements. Each teacher has submitted their nomination along
with a brief statement which will be included on the back on their certificate as to why the
student was chosen for this award.

Leaders aren't born they are made. And they are
made just like anything else, through hard work.
And that's the price we'll have to pay to achieve
that goal, or any goal.
