HCGC Pledge

Before the kickoff of Marion's home football games this fall, fans will be treated to a very special presentation.

Representatives from all six of Marion's campus schools will lead the Pledge of Allegiance around 6:45 at every home game this fall.

The Math, Science, and Technology Magnet School (MST) kicks off the 2025 football season by leading the pledge on August 22 before Marion's annual benefit scrimmage against Valley View.
Marion Visual and Performing Arts Magnet (VPA) takes center stage on August 29 before the Pats' home date against the Wynne Yellowjackets.

Marion Junior High will showcase its ability on September 12 as the Pats host Class 7A power Conway inside Southern Bancorp Stadium, and Marion High School gets its opportunity on October 3 before a crucial 6A East conference clash with El Dorado.

Herbert Carter Global Community Magnet (HCGC) will perform on October 17 before Marion's Homecoming date with Jonesboro, and 7th Grade Academy (7GA) gets its opportunity on October 31 when the Patriots host Little Rock Catholic in the regular-season home finale.

This is the third season that Marion has featured its students performing the Pledge of Allegiance before kickoff at home football games.

You can watch every Marion football game this fall for free on the Marion Patriots Activities Network (MPAN) YouTube channel, or by following the link at msd3.org/o/mpan.
