The school district comprises territory along the boundary of Shawano and Waupaca counties, and includes the communities of Caroline, Leopolis, and the Town of Pella.

At one time, Caroline had its own elementary school, however, because of low enrollment it was sold to the local American Legion group.

The separate elementary building for K–6 is located five blocks north of the junior-senior high school, just off Main Street.

Marion High School has extracurricular programs, such as music, FFA, FCCLA, forensics, and other academic groups.

Marion High School participates in the Central Wisconsin Conference – Small division, or CWC-Small, in the following sports: cross country, football, volleyball, basketball, baseball, softball, golf, and track and field.

[3] The cross country program was discontinued for many years because of declining involvement, however, it experienced a resurgence in the late 1990s.

On that team was Ned Wulk, who would eventually become the all-time leader in career wins as head basketball coach at Arizona State University.
