History
A brick school was constructed in 1903 after a fire destroyed the public-school building in 1900. In 1923, Marlin Independent School District was founded.[3][4]
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.[5] While Marlin's Director of Human Resources and teacher Jesse Mustamante said, "The support was there" for students from teachers, several students strongly disagreed.[5]
