History
{{expand section|date=May 2023}}
In early 2023 the school had 33 12th grade students in its standard program. By the end of the school year the school administration discovered that five of those students qualified to graduate, so the graduation ceremony was delayed.{{cite web|last=Chappell|first=Bill|url=https://www.npr.org/2023/05/25/1178150199/texas-high-school-postpones-graduation-diploma-requirements-marlin|title=Texas high school delays its graduation, after only a handful met diploma requirements|publisher=National Public Radio|date=2023-05-25|accessdate=2023-05-26}} While Marlin's Director of Human Resources and teacher Jesse Mustamante said, "The support was there" for students from teachers, several students strongly disagreed.
