Autauga County Schools, Marbury High School, and Maxwell AFB cohesively support several military-connected students at MHS. The MHS administration team understands the unique educational challenges military-connected students face when transitioning. You will find that MHS educators are fully committed to supporting military-connected students by addressing educational challenges and promoting resiliency necessary to manage the military lifestyle. They strive to engage all students in a relevant and inspiring education to produce respectful, responsible, and resourceful graduates!
