Francis Marion High School opened its doors in our current location in 1963.  Up until that time it was Perry County High School. We are named after the Revolutionary War Hero, Francis Marion - better known as "The Swamp Fox."

Francis Marion strives to be a community of learners in which all members act respectful, responsible, and resourceful. We will provide our students with a strong academic foundation to help them reach their true potential in becoming college and career ready.

• We provide an environment which is orderly, safe, inviting, and stimulating
