Since the school year began, the Marian Website has had many requests. These visitors came from an assortment of different countries, the government and military, non-profit organizations, commercial and network sites, and educational facilities. The hits came from a variety of countries including Australia, Turkey, Singapore, Egypt, Russia, South Africa, Malaysia, Iceland, Finland, Denmark, Sweden, Israel and Estonia. Members of the TAR, the group of Marian students who run the website and maintain the computers, are amazed at how worldly our school has become via the Internet. Senior TAR Pota Rakes credits the effort of the students involved in maintaining the site.
Marian students are also astounded by the increase of interest generated by the website.
Sophomore Cassie Powers was surprised by the countries that logged on. Physics teacher and advisor to the TARs, Mr. Bruce Esser, wrote the program to sort and tally the site visitors information. He shares similar enthusiasm. It reinforces what a truly global community we are. By increasing global interest in our school, the Marian website has once again demonstrated our commitment to excellence and superior education.
