Light of Learning Award Winner for 2012 Announced
Marian High School’s Light of Learning Award winner for 2011-2012 is Mrs. Tara Ton. She has taught in the Social Studies Department at Marian for 16 years. She teaches World History and Geography/History of the World. Mrs. Ton initiated the ACP Introduction to Teaching class at Marian four years ago. This course has gotten Marian students excited about the vocation of teaching.
Mrs. Ton has a B.A. in Social Studies Education from Indiana University South Bend and a Masters in Education from University of St. Mary’s in Leavenworth, Kansas. She is also the enthusiastic coach of the Marian Poms. This takes an enormous amount of time and energy. The competitive dance team has known great success under the direction of Mrs. Ton.

Marian Receives a Grade of "A" or "Exemplary" on A.Y.P.
Congratulations are in order as Marian High School received a grade of "A" or an "Exemplary" rating on Adequate Yearly Progress (A.Y.P.) and Public Law 221 from the state of Indiana's Department of Education. Thank you to the students, teachers, and parents for their hard work in earning this distinction. The A.Y.P. measures the Graduation Rate and the percentage of students passing the End of Course Assessments (ECAs) in Algebra I and English 10. Biology ECA scores do not count in terms of A.Y.P., but it is important to note that Marian's Biology test scores were 11 percentage points greater than the next highest school in the area.
