Who we are:

Faculty, staff, retired faculty, parents and community members dedicated to recognizing and encouraging academic achievement and learning for all K-12 students in the Marcellus School District.

Marcellus Academic Club started in 1998 as a small community group attempting to become more involved in our children's education, and wanting to recognize our graduating seniors, especially those who had consistently maintained honor/high honor roll status throughout high school.

Our efforts were so successful that our mission has since expanded to include supporting, encouraging, and recognizing academic achievements and learning for all students in grades K-12.
