Welcome to your sophomore year at Marshall County High School!  As a sophomore, you have a year of high school behind you. If you think college is in your future, start thinking about how much that will cost. Remember, when we say “college” that means any training after high school, including technical or beauty school, as well as a two- or four-year college program.  The sophomore year can be quite difficult, so make sure you do your assignments, study for exams and ask your teachers for help when you don’t understand something.
