Well done med prep!

Marshall Tech is pink each year during the month of October due to MTS' medical prep program and its support for breast cancer awareness. Medical prep raised almost $1,000 to help pay for mammograms for those in need through an array of activities such as a volleyball tournament and penny drop. The annual "pink glove dance" is always a huge success! Great job Nurse Peppers and your students for the work you do for this worthwhile cause!

Congrats Robotics team!

1st Place - Marketing Team

Congratulations to the Marshall County Robotics Coalition, which is a combined team made up of Marshall Technical School and Brindlee Mountain Middle School robotics teams! The team finished second overall at the Northeast Alabama Robotics Competition. The team's marketing team won first place and the team won first place for spirit and sportmanship. A special thanks goes out to MTS robotics instructor Mr. Glenn Bruce for the incredible effort and hours he puts into this competition each year for his students. His teams have been incredibly successful through the years and we are very proud of our teacher and students!

Wallace State career tech recruiter Brenda Johnson will be at MTS on Nov. 1 to meet with juniors and seniors. MTS seniors will also have the opportunity to visit Wallace State career tech programs on Dec. 6.

FAFSA Change!

Students are now able to begin completing their FAFSA applications on Oct. 1 using their parent/guardian's previous year tax return. This is a huge change! In the past students typically had to wait until after their parents had filed their income taxes in order to complete the FAFSA application. Since April 15th is typically the deadline to file income taxes, some students were unable to complete their FAFSA applications until late spring. This was a huge problem since some scholarships require students to have previously filed a FAFSA application. The new rules will now allow students to go ahead and complete their FAFSA without waiting for their parents to file their tax return for the upcoming year.
