School Data

      Discover this school

      Founded in 1994, and located in the southeastern part of San Francisco, Thurgood Marshall Academic High School is a four-year college preparatory high school with a diverse student body. Our highly dedicated faculty/staff and our active Parent Teacher Student Association believe that every Marshall student should be equipped with the skills, knowledge, and values needed to make wise college, career, and vocational decisions. With seven class periods per day, students can choose an extra course in the daily routine to challenge themselves and expand their options. Students take core and elective courses, including honors/AP courses, which meet all UC and CSU admission requirements. Students enjoy access to a refurbished and expanded College & Career Center, a fully staffed Wellness Center, a Peer Resources Program, and a daily afterschool tutoring program.

      Student life at Marshall is enhanced by a wide array of extracurricular, community service, and athletic activities during and after school. Marshall is committed to achieving school-wide learning that reinforces the importance of responsibility, communication, critical thinking, and collaboration in all fields of human endeavor. At Marshall, active pursuit of social justice is driven by a desire to change attitudes, provide opportunity to those who have historically been marginalized, identify and overcome institutional unfairness, and address and respect the needs of all individuals. Our school community seeks to engage all students and create a trusting, respectful environment that welcomes and challenges students. Everyone at the school strives to shape an academic culture that promotes high achievement for all students. We believe that Marshall should be a welcoming place for faculty, students, families—and that parents/guardians should be informed about their students' successes and struggles, school events, and the school's progress.

      Opportunities for Parental Involvement

      Parents have opportunities to be involved in school activities through the reinvigorated 100+ member PTSA, SSC, and ELAC. The new PTSA leadership has actively promoted parent participation in events and projects such as Freshman Orientation, Back-to-School Night, Eighth Grade Night, and campus beautification. A new undertaking is to recruit parents to be tutors for struggling and underperforming students, as well as be mentors to students who have interests in a variety of subject areas. Parent volunteers are encouraged to provide academic and cultural enrichment and serve as role models. Parents are assisted in becoming more aware of the college application process and financial aid/scholarship opportunities (and deadlines) that students face as seniors. A PTSA newsletter is published every two months and distributed to all families.
