Marion Center High School

Welcome back, students and staff! This summer went by quickly, and if you look around you’ll see new and familiar faces! Are you excited for the 23-24 school year? With the new school year beginning there are many new, important activities and dates to remember! There is no school on Labor Day, September 4th. Perhaps you will want to go to the Cookport Fair with your friends. Picture day is scheduled for September 7th – be sure to smile! September 12th is an open house here at the Junior-Senior High School. Bring your family into the school and walk them through your schedule. This is a great opportunity for you to introduce your family to your teachers! Even though school just started, mid-terms will be distributed on September 22nd, so make sure you are working your hardest and doing your best! This year, challenge yourself to branch out, make some new friends, and make some new long-lasting memories, and most importantly – be kind! Let’s have a great school year this year, Stingers!

About the Contributor

Molly Spence, Co-Editor-In-Chief

"Remember there is good in this world, and bad, and ugly." -Unknown Hello, welcome to The Stinger! My name is Molly Spence, I am a class of 2026 Junior and the Co-Editor-In-Chief for The Stinger Newspaper. I am involved in the Newspaper, Marion Center Mean Green Marching Machine as one of the Section Leaders for the Color Guard, a representative of Marion Center High School for both United Way and SULT (Students United Leadership Team), Athena Club as the head of public relations, Art Club, Mock Trial, Freaky Friday The Musical cast, and library assistant. This is my third year in Newspaper. I've been assistant editor for two years, and this is my first year as Co-Editor-In-Chief. My future goals include attending Lycoming College to major in Psychology to accomplish my career goal of being a clinical psychologist and continuing my education (master’s and doctoral degrees) at another college. Apart from my aspiring career and education dreams, something people may not know about me is I twirl batons (1, 2, and 3 batons). I was a competitive twirler, as for right now I'm doing my own training, improving my skills, and learning new tricks. I also love ducks. I have two ducks who hate my batons when I’m twirling but love to go up to them and peck them when I’m not twirling. I don’t allow them anywhere near the fire batons, of course. My ducks and twirling are giant parts of my life, as well as psychology class here in the high school and my own research and education. By being a part of The Stinger, I want to make everyone's voice heard and leave no one behind, because after all, we, Marion Center High School students, are all in this together.
