Marion County High School Receives T-Mobile Grant

On Friday, Marion County High School was announced as one of 50 high schools nationwide to receive $5,000 each from T-Mobile.

Earlier this month, T-Mobile announced a $2 million grand prize football field technology makeover called T-Mobile Friday Night 5G Lights, giving small-town high schools from across the country a chance to win big. In addition, 16 finalists will each receive $25,000, and 300 schools will each receive $5,000 throughout the competition’s entry period to support high school football programs nationwide. The high school is among the first 300 schools to receive $5,000.

T-Mobile is launching Friday Night 5G Lights to raise awareness of the massive investments the company has made in rural America since it launched 5G for All in April 2021—nearly 500,000 square miles of new 5G coverage and hundreds of new stores—while celebrating the community spirit that makes small-town America so special. Nothing brings that spirit out quite like high school football.
