Downtown Proud: Class of 2027

MCBD High School Senior Banner Program
🎓 Celebrate Your Senior in Downtown Marshalltown!
Honor your graduating senior with a custom banner proudly displayed in the heart of downtown Marshalltown! The MCBD High School Senior Banner Program gives families the opportunity to recognize their senior while filling downtown with school spirit and hometown pride.
Each personalized banner features the student’s name, photo, and school and will be displayed on a light pole throughout the downtown district.

The sign up for the 2026 Senior Banner Program runs August 20 through December 15, 2026, giving our community the opportunity to celebrate local seniors throughout the fall.
​
After the program concludes, banners will be available for families to take home as a special keepsake of their senior year.

Celebrate your senior. Show your school spirit. Help us fill downtown Marshalltown with hometown pride!
