WE ARE IN NEED OF GUEST SPEAKERS!

Our vision for our academies at MHS is Discover Your Place and Decide Your Plan. An

important piece of students discovering their place is to hear from adults who have a

career they love. If you would love to share your wisdom and career story with our

amazing students, we would love to have you. We have guest speakers each Wednesday

from 3:00 to 3:40. Please let me know if you are willing to come and help our students

visualize their future.

NEW OPTION FOR REPORTING ABSENCES

Marana High School has a new option for calling your student out for the day. Email us at

[email protected] or [email protected] with your students name, grade,

reason for absence and your name and along with a phone number where we can reach

Tiger Pride

First of all, TIGER PRIDE!

Marana Athletic News

Three amazing Tigers represented our Wrestling

“Tiger Style” team this weekend at the State Finals.

Travis Howard is now the State Champion for

DI, Storm Downing took 3rd and David Tilley

took 6th. All three of these young men represented

Marana High School with honor, dignity and

integrity in all of their matches. Many spectators

commented how our Culture is perceived in these

three Tigers and their Competitiveness was top

notch. Travis, Strom and David truly Committed to

their team, coaches, and their goal which resulted

in their success of being three of Arizona State’s

best wrestlers. TIGER PRIDE!!!!

Our lady Tigers Basketball team is in the State play-offs here at Marana High

School. These girls have worked tremendously hard and have lived out the 3C

philosophy with their vibrant Culture, outstanding Commitment and fierce

Competitiveness. They would love your Tiger Pride support on Wednesday for

their first game in the State play-offs!

Proud to be the AD!
