The Marathon Weekly is proud to partner with Marathon High School faculty and students in choosing “The Student of the Week.” Recipients are chosen on qualifications including academic standing, athletics, outstanding achievements, community involvement, individuality and moral fortitude. We thank our future leaders and MHS for allowing us to share in a weekly dose of “Dolphin Pride,” and for giving us a glimpse into their world.

What do you hope to be remembered for at MHS? For my academic and sports acheivements.
