Founded in 1994, Thurgood Marshall Academic High School is a four-year college preparatory high school with a diverse student body in southeast San Francisco. With an eight-period schedule, students choose an extra course in the daily routine to challenge themselves and expand their options.

At Thurgood Marshall Academic High School, students gain the skills they need to go on to lead healthy, productive, and choice-filled lives and graduate with a plan for how they will achieve their goals.
TMAHS' Vision
Thurgood Marshall Academic High School is a multiculturally and multilingually diverse community of scholars that focuses primarily on ensuring our students graduate with the skills necessary to identify and define their goals, plan for post-secondary success, and achieve in college and career.
At TMAHS, students and staff hold themselves and each other to high expectations. We utilize project-based learning to explore and create relevant, real-world experiences that challenge our students to think creatively and critically. We nurture safe, supportive, and joyful classrooms that are rooted in antiracism and rigor. Our students and staff feel a strong sense of self, of belonging, and of purpose and strive for excellence.
TMAHS is a community school that authentically partners with students, families, and the larger San Francisco community. Our students are empowered to learn and grow through meaningful field trips, work-based learning, wrap around services, and out-of-school-time programming.
