For the most part, the extracurricular opportunities are awesome! There is a wide variety of clubs, but sometimes administration support isn't the best. Athletics sometimes overshadow clubs and it can be disappointing. This can be referenced with how administration originally refused a state send-off for five Speech members in 2016, despite they always have sendoffs for other clubs... Especially sports. It took the longest time to get the school to start a debate team. Overall, it is pivotal to understand that for the most part extracurriculars are great. It's just administration that can be disappointing.

The theatre program is a great experience! Most of the teachers actually try to teach in the best way they can, although funding in general is lacking all over the school.
I suppose that on cannot have a perfect highschool experience, however, especially as this is an extremely formative time during a young adults life, one would at least hope that highschool would include several positive, uplifting aspects.
This, I believe, is exactly what John Marshall exemplified in my life. You could certainly not say that so the teachers were amazing, yet still the overall academic experience was beneficial and motivating.
