Marshall has so many opportunities for its students. Between the large number of student-organized clubs and teachers ready to help engaged students to the best of their ability, Marshall aims to both educate its student body while teaching how to use these opportunities to your advantage. Marshall is also an IB school, giving students the option to continue their future college journey internationally. Even if pupils may choose different paths, the IB Diploma and courses allow them to challenge themselves academically and creatively, further preparing the students.
To further improve, Marshall could update current activities going on in the school to provide a larger sense of spirit and community. Although recent events have taken place and increasing effort has been put in to encourage more school spirit, individuals would benefit from a more inclusive and balanced environment (academics, sports, arts, etc.)

Marshall HS provided students with an intellectually stimulating course load and a diverse and inclusive environment. Academically, I felt fulfilled and prepared for college upon graduating. However, there was little emphasis on growing or even allowing students' sense of independence. At times, I felt more like a prisoner than a student. Many faculty members demonstrated distrust toward students, and I did not feel like I had much control over my life as a student here. Additionally, the administration prioritized community and communal values in spoken word much more than in action. Mental health and wellness was not as much of a focus as it should have been.
Overall, I had many positive and negative experiences at Marshall HS. I met great people here, and I learned a lot about myself and about the world. Yet, there were also times when I felt like I was going to crack from an overwhelming combination of academic rigor, NOVA competition, and a declining mental/emotional state.

Marshall High School is similar to any other, yet rigorous in its own way. With IB courses available to students and not AP, Marshall pushes its students through the challenges and growth that may come with it. I personally think that the courses themselves should have more flexibility to what level the students wish to learn at instead of pushing them full force into IB. The Music Department is excellent and offers a wide range of options such as choir, band, orchestra, and guitar. Clubs and other extracurriculars are plentiful and flexible to the schedule of students due to the consideration and leeway their sponsors have from understanding students' time management and stress in other academic activities. Overall, I think Marshall High School is a good school for the committed and focused yet may benefit from the opinions and scrutiny of those who attend(ed).
