Marking you feel at home is Marshall's priority. Students perform best academically when they feel safe and cared for in school. Here, students can reach their full potential in the classroom, and beyond.
Marshall's 2017 graduating class earned over $6 million in college scholarships. Over 80% of our seniors were accepted at their first choice school.
Class sizes are small, teachers are attentive to students questions and needs, and the curriculum is broad. Marshall offers a wide selection of college preparatory classes, honors courses, and over 20 Advanced Placement courses.
