Major Emerson, who had been working at Marmion for 22 years, officially retired. His last day was September 30th.
Juan Campos, a sophomore at Marmion, was acknowledged for his hard work in creating an app for mental health resources. Campos also won an award from Apple, specifically the Apple Swift Student Challenge, for his work in creating his app, Twilight.

Marmion and Rosary students of all grade levels attended the pep rally to support their schools and fellow students. Many games and competitions were held to inspire students.
Each grade level had four people participating in the contests, two Marmion students and two Rosary students.
Games included farthest throw, biggest bubble gum bubble, school trivia, crab walking race, and who could talk the fastest.
The pep rally hyped the students up for the Homecoming football game later that day as well as the Homecoming Dance the next day.
