Marion Center Area School District Home

Marion Center Area School District believes our community and taxpayers deserve a clear explanation of the decision to select Woodridge Transit as its student transportation provider. The decision was not based on dissatisfaction with Smith Bus Company. Smith has served Marion Center for 17 years, and the District has been extremely satisfied with the service provided by its drivers and employees.

Marion Center youth basketball will be hosting a 1-day clinic for anyone in grades 2nd - 6th. It will be held on August 22nd from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. at the WAM Cafe and Gym. The fee is $20.00 per student. There will also be information on the youth travel ball. To sign up or for more information, call 724-422-7966 or email [email protected]

Our region's employers are navigating real workforce challenges, from an aging workforce to skilled labor shortages, amid a rapidly changing economy shaped by new investments such as the Homer City Energy Campus. AICPP (Armstrong and Indiana County Career Pathways Partnership) was formed to help local businesses, schools, and training providers work together to build a stronger talent pipeline for Armstrong and Indiana Counties.

To ensure our regional strategy reflects what employers are actually experiencing, we're inviting business owners, HR professionals, and hiring managers to complete a Labor Market Analysis Survey covering hiring challenges, skills gaps, wage trends, and interest in partnerships such as apprenticeships or work-based learning. The survey has seven sections and takes about 10-15 minutes to complete. Responses are confidential and reported only in summary form, and will directly shape regional workforce programs and funding priorities.

Please complete by Friday, August 21, 2026.
