History
The school first opened as a replacement for what is now Marietta Middle School. The Auditorium/Gymnasium and Voag buildings were part of the original construction. As enrollment increase the school had more parking lots added as well.
The school converted from a 7 period day to a 8 period day during the 2010-2011 school year.
Funding has consistently decreased in recent memory. An $11.9 million levy is up in May. The levy will only cover cost of operation at MHS and no major school improvement will arise from it, but it will save many jobs in the school system.
Extracurricular activities
MHS offers numerous clubs/groups, including a wide array of sports teams. Students also have the opportunity to participate in the making of the school yearbook "The Orian" and a school newspaper entitled The Original. The Kokopelli is a monthly publication printed by The Marietta Times, the city's local daily newspaper. There is also a student Web-Design team at the high school called "The Bridge".They also have the Marietta High School Wall of Sound who competes at Band Competitions, Local Parades, The Sternwheel Festival, and much more.
