The Marietta High School water main repairs began early this morning, Friday, March 8, 2024 and were concluded by the middle of the afternoon. We were fortunate enough yesterday to have been able to pinpoint the area in which the water line had ruptured. This allowed us to minimize digging and the size of the area that would need to be refilled and paved. We had to remove about a 10’ section of pipe that had a dollar bill sized hole with cracks spreading out in multiple directions. After replacing that section of pipe, the ditch was filled and the lines were slowly pressurized until we reached full water pressure. It is repaired and fully functional. School will be back in session for MHS on Monday, March 11, 2024. We appreciate your patience in this matter.

This is a wonderful opportunity over the summer for students interested in STEAM. Space is limited, you can apply via the QR Code attached, or by visiting BB2C: Building Bridges to Careers website at bb2careers.org/makerspace Questions can be directed to makerspace@bb2careers.org

Please note that this will only affect Marietta High School, all of our other buildings are unaffected and will be on their normal schedule.

Parents- Recently, Marietta High School has seen an increase in behaviors with cell phones and disruptions of the educational process in our restrooms. To combat these issues along with backpacks at the younger ages, we wanted to communicate with our parents some updated procedures to create an atmosphere that is conducive to what we are trying to accomplish at MHS. We ask that our parents sit down and have conversations on the items listed in this document: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1v04la_11Om2671Zmj_VXwscg9m3oSd3XeEwrK57ItWg/edit?usp=sharing Thank You Marietta High School Admin Team
