 Robby Peterson has always wanted to be the principal at Marion County High School.

From the days he walked the halls as a student himself, to the years he was a teacher and coach, Peterson has always loved MCHS.

“This has always been home,” Peterson said, sitting in his new office at MCHS on Wednesday afternoon, less than 24 hours after the school council selected him to become the next principal. “This is something that I’ve always wanted.”
