50 years later, the Class of 1976 is still leaving their mark! Thank you Class of '76 for the generous donation made during your 50th High School Reunion allowing us to add two new benches to the tailgate area. We’re so grateful for their continued Maverick pride and support in making game days even better for our community!

Yesterday, we hosted our Fall CTE Advisory Meeting, bringing together local organization leaders to learn about our rapidly expanding CTE programs. We are deeply grateful to everyone who took time out of their busy schedules to learn about our work, share valuable feedback, and discuss future opportunities for our students.

A special thanks to our Culinary students, led by Naomi Ellis, who prepared and served a fantastic lunch featuring tortellini soup, garden salad, and chocolate scones - safe to say, not a single crumb was left behind!

We also want to thank Dr. Leon for organizing such a seamless event, our student speakers for representing their programs with pride, and every community leader who attended to support our future workforce.

On Tuesday, as the Marshall Education Foundation Grants were being awarded, Dr. Crain realized one of the recipients from Marshall Early Childhood - Twila Boykins, was one of her students from her very first year of teaching at Karnack ISD. Talk about a full-circle moment having the opportunity to celebrate her work as an educator in Marshall ISD as she serves the next generation of students!

Twila Boykins received a $2,000 grant for "A Space to Thrive". This is a classroom initiative designed to provide Pre-K students with disabilities access to developmentally appropriate play materials, educational resources, sensory tools, and hands-on learning activities that directly support their individualized educational needs.

Thank you, Marshall Education Foundation for continuing to support our faculty and staff and making these special moments happen for our Mavericks!

Marshall ISD is among the 84 recipients of over $20 million in JET grants!

Marshall ISD is using funds from the JET Grant to purchase equipment for our new Advanced Manufacturing / Engineering program in Robotics & Automation. With TWC's support, Marshall ISD will add CNC Vertical Mill, a CNC Turning Mill, a ER-41A Robot, and a CRX-51A Fenceless Robot. All of these are complete certification trainers that will allow students to earn industry-based certifications on each. They will learn how to use the devices, programmable logic controllers, as well as troubleshoot the machines.

  • The Vertical Mill cart provides students the opportunity to learn about vertically arranged drilling. This cart will help students learn to write code to efficiently and consistently produce finished products with high quality tolerances.

  • The CNC Turning cart provides students the opportunity to learn about horizontally arranged lathing, help students learn to write code to efficiently and consistently produce finished products with high quality tolerances.

  • The ER-4iA is the most commonly used robot in industry and students will learn to code the robot for a variety of applications in an advanced manufacturing setting.

  • The CRX Collaborative robot is also a FANUC product, providing students the opportunity to learn on an icon-based coding, aka block coding, which is a growing area of what is active on the market today.

Marshall ISD is heartbroken to share the passing of one of our dedicated game workers and proud MHS alumnus... In Loving Memory of Waylon “Buc” Buchanan Jr.

Marshall ISD Athletics would like to take a moment to recognize and honor the life and dedicated service of Waylon “Buc” Buchanan Jr., a proud 1981 graduate of Marshall High School and a longtime member of our Marshall Athletic Game Worker family. For many years, Buc faithfully served in numerous roles within the Marshall ISD Athletic Department, working alongside his father, Waylon Buchanan Sr. His dedication, commitment, and willingness to serve made him a valued part of our athletic family.

We are deeply saddened by Buc's passing this week. His years of service, loyalty, and contributions to Marshall Athletics will always be remembered and appreciated. Buc was more than a game worker; he was part of the Marshall Maverick family, and his presence will be greatly missed. We extend our heartfelt condolences and prayers to the Buchanan family during this difficult time.

Once a Maverick, Always a Maverick!

Rest in peace, Buc. Thank you for your many years of faithful service. ❤️
