Pony Up Marysville: Thank You for Investing in MHS Students!


Watch the video above to hear from students who benefited from your generosity!

Last year, for the first time, the Marysville High School Alumni Association joined the Pony Up Marysville campaign, and the response was incredible. Thanks to the generosity of our alumni and community donors, we were able to directly support MHS juniors and seniors by helping cover the cost of their dual credit courses.

This initiative made a real difference in students' lives—helping them take college-level courses, explore career interests, and even graduate early.

Because of you, students who wanted to get a head start on their college education didn’t have to worry about financial barriers.

💡 Over the past year, we provided $100 per student who applied for assistance, making these opportunities possible for more MHS students.

A Heartfelt Thank You from Our Students

Your donations changed lives, and we want you to hear directly from the students you supported.

📢 "Without these donors, I wouldn’t be able to take these college classes in high school. It really has a big impact on me and can help my future—thank you a lot!"
— Ava Spicer, MHS Junior

📢 "I want to be a pilot, and the math classes I’m taking apply directly to that profession. This support is helping me accelerate my education and career goals."
— Rhett Wurtenberger, MHS Senior

📢 "These classes have expanded my horizons beyond high school. I’m able to take courses in my future career field, and I may even graduate from college early!"
— McCourtney Smith, MHS Junior

These students are just a few examples of how your support is shaping the future for MHS students.

More Than Just Reunions: Alumni Supporting Alumni

A common misconception about the Marysville High School Alumni Association is that we only focus on reunions and homecoming events. While we love reconnecting, our mission is so much bigger—it’s about giving back and investing in the next generation of Bulldogs.

Because of Pony Up Marysville, we’re not just looking back on our time at MHS—we’re helping today’s students look forward to a brighter future.

🚀 Thank you again for your generosity and support last year. Let’s Pony Up again in 2025!
