E-Sports Team
Welcome to the home of Marion Giants competitive electronic gaming!
We pride ourselves on diversity, equity, and inclusion by welcoming all to our team. E-sports is more than a bunch of students playing video games. E-sports teaches leadership, communication, perseverance, and determination — the same skills gained from participation in other sports. With diversity, equity, and inclusion at our core, our team members form connections in ways they might not have thought possible. This program is already a major e-sports competitor with our state-of-the-art arena, our participation in yearlong activities, and our school-wide recruitment of players.
This is the world of Giants E-Sports. This is where your competitive side thrives. Fuel your passion for gaming right at Marion Community Schools.
