October is packed with events. Save the dates!

The Marietta High School Homecoming parade and football game is today, October 4. The parade will be on the Marietta Square and will end near the Northcutt Stadium. Burruss will have a float in the parade and our dance team will also perform. Come out for a great Blue Devil evening!

Fall Festival is our biggest event of the year! Bring your family and friends on October 11 from 6-8pm! We will have carnival games, bounce houses, basket raffles, a silent auction, and a petting zoo! We need volunteers to make the event a success. Click here to volunteer for an hour!

Conference Week is October 14-18. Students are dismissed at 1:15 each day that week. We will also have our annual book fair on campus that week, so pop in the Media Center to shop when you're here for your conference! We rely on volunteers that week to make the event a success.
