The Marshalltown Community School District invites students, families, alumni and community members to celebrate the grand opening of the newly renovated Franklin Field with a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 4:30 p.m. on Aug. 21 at the 14th Street entrance to Franklin Field. The Franklin Field improvements are part of the district’s broader Reimagine Miller initiative, made possible through the community’s support of the 2024 bond referendum. Following the ribbon-cutting ceremony, the celebration will continue with Marshalltown High School football scrimmages against Bondurant-Farrar. Franklin Field has served Marshalltown students and the community since 1922, hosting generations of student-athletes and countless community events.
