Superintendent Jennifer Barbaree was honored to join the ribbon-cutting for the Merrill Historical Museum! 🎉 Thanks to the Merrill Restoration Alliance, Inc. for preserving the rich history and lasting legacy of Merrill High School.








We proudly inducted outstanding students into the National Honor Society. Each inductee was recognized for demonstrating the four pillars of NHS: scholarship, leadership, service, and character. This ceremony marked not only their academic excellence but also their commitment to making a positive impact in our school and community.
We are excited to see these students continue to lead and serve as role models, upholding the values of NHS.
Congratulations to all of our new inductees! 🎉
