 A fire in 1985 caused high school classes to be moved to the elementary school, while elementary classes were moved to various locations around Marion, such as churches, while a new high school, connected to the old gymnasium, was built on School Street.The separate elementary building for K-6 is located five blocks north of the junior-senior high school, just off Main Street.A field house was added to the elementary school in 1998, where many events are now held.
