As of January 1, 2024 we are a cashless facility. We no longer are able to accept cash or check as payment for tickets, field trips, or merchandise. We ask that you plan accordingly and bring credit/debit cards or mobile wallets (such as Apple Pay, Google Pay, or Samsung Pay) if you wish to make purchases at our facility.
Thank you for your support and understanding!
Please Note:
Our no-cash policy has been established by Marquette Senior High School administration.
As we are part of Marquette Area Public Schools, we are required to adhere to their policies, including the directive not to accept cash payments. This policy ensures the continuity of our operations.
For any questions or concerns regarding this policy, please contact our building principal, Brandon Wheeler, at [email protected].
Kindly note that there is no federal law requiring a private business, individual, or organization to accept currency or coins for payment. For more information, visit federalreserve.gov/faqs/currency_12772.htm.
