Happy last day of classes, Marshall Tigers! We can't wait for so many of you to join the Mustang Family this fall!

It's a tradition at MHS that on the last day of classes for seniors, graduates going on to college will wear a crown with the name of their chosen school. Just look at all that Brown & Gold! 🤎💛

Keep your eyes on Lauren Hunt! She's just getting started!

Thank you, Lauren Hunt, for your incredible year of service as Minnesota FFA State Sentinel. Your retiring address challenged every single member in the arena to stop hiding and start showing up as exactly who they are. Your story reminded us that the things that make us different are the very things that make us powerful. We believe in you, and we believe in every member you inspired tonight!

Low quality photos of a high quality event! 👏🏼🥇🧑‍🍳 Every year SMSU is proud to host the Culinary Skills Challenge on our campus. Students from all over Minnesota and South Dakota came to demonstrate their culinary skills, and learn from talented presenters.

Participants also have the chance to tour our awesome Culinology and Hospitality space, learn from current students in our programs, and best of all...the Student Hospitality Organization caters lunch for everyone!! 🤤😋

The Office of Admission loves to hang out and meet so many talented high school students while bragging about our own students! 😄🤎💛🐴
