the reason why i love Marshall is because everyone has so much school spirit and the students here aren't competative they each get along with one another well most of the time but Marshall is a good place to attend some of the alumni that graduated went on to do amazing things in life and most of the people at Marshall have family members that went there i know i do so thats why Marshall is a good school

You can find that the faculty do not only have knowledge at what they are teaching or doing, but they are splendid, generous, and the best faculty you will ever find. They do not only give you helpful advice, but they take time out of their day to listen to what you have to say. They are not only teachers and counselors but they are also friends.

I love John Marshall Senior High School because its such a great place to be! Like honestly I thought Marshall was going to be like those high school drama shows but no. Marshall is nothing like that. Staff at Marshall are amazing! They're all so welcoming and they really care. I look forward to school. I don't waking and say, 'Aw I have school.' I no longer say that. Just wake up get ready and smile at a new day knowing that I'm going to a place of acceptance.
