Welcome Mrs. Anderson

Hello Marinette HS Students and Families!

It is my distinct pleasure and honor to introduce myself as your new Principal of Marinette High School. I feel very fortunate to be a part of this school to support you, our staff and community.

I am extremely excited and honored to lead an amazing school and community and will see all of you very soon.

Rightsizing Project Update

Primary School Highlights (Merryman): Landscaping is being finished on the exterior of the building, and crews are currently patching the asphalt. Painting, flooring and work in the remodeled portions of the building are underway and great progress is being made. The ceiling grid in the existing portion of the building will start next week.

Intermediate School Highlights (Park): The ceiling grid and new lighting is being placed in the existing portion of the building. Ceiling tiles are starting to be placed to enclose the ceiling. The new gym space has been painted and is coming to life with Marine logos!

Middle School Cafeteria: Painting has started in the cafeteria and crews are working to place new flooring and new lights in the space, which is helping to brighten and open up the space!

High School LMC: Painting has started, and the ceiling grid and tiles are going up. Flooring in the space has begun and glass partitions are being placed in the collaborative spaces in the LMC.

Your student will also receive their required school ID the day their picture is taken.

Attention Marinette Families:

The USDA has NOT extended free meals into the 2022-2023 school year which means school meals will go back to free, reduced, and paid status. Please watch your email for updated free/reduced meal applications. It is very important to fill out the application for families in need of financial assistance with meals to prevent any disruption in meal service.

It is also important to note that any family who did not complete a free/reduced meal application in the 2021-2022 school year but may qualify for meal benefits, will not receive the 30 day grace period during the 2022-2023 school year. Therefore, you must have applications completed prior to August 29, 2022.

Student Insurance

In the past, we have sent home brochures prior to the first day of school/first day of athletics outlining student accident insurance options for families for the upcoming school year that may not have other coverage. This option gives parents and guardians in our community an opportunity to purchase coverage for unexpected medical expenses that they could potentially be responsible for.

Please click on the link below for more information.

This is completely voluntary.
