Summary
Marion County Schools just landed a record $12.5 million grant to expand its booming Career Academy, set to open a brand-new facility on Bevill State’s Hamilton campus—complete with donated land. Already serving 400+ students from five high schools, the program lets teens earn college credits and career skills for free, right in their own community. Backed by a 2025 state initiative targeting rural career tech centers, this investment is hailed as a major economic win—and a powerful way to keep young people rooted in Marion County while preparing them for high-demand jobs.
