Marlin High School is a public high school in the city of Marlin, Texas, United States. It is part of the Marlin Independent School District located in central Falls County. The school is classified as a 2A school by the University Interscholastic League (UIL).[1] In 2015, the school was rated "Met Standard" by the Texas Education Agency.[2]

History

In early 2023 the school had 33 12th grade students in its standard program. By the end of the school year the school administration discovered that five of those students qualified to graduate, so the graduation ceremony was delayed.[3] While Marlin's Director of Human Resources and teacher Jesse Mustamante said, "The support was there" for students from teachers, several students strongly disagreed.[3]

Athletics

The Marlin Bulldogs compete in cross country, volleyball, football, basketball, golf, track, softball, and baseball[4]
