Overview

John Marshall Metropolitan High School offers a general education curriculum and Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs including allied health, culinary arts, and horticulture. Students are provided access to internships and college courses. Now entering our third year of High School Transformation, our goal is to help students become economically independent and contribute to their families and society. Marshall has partnerships and grants with Life Directions, 21st Century, Senator Rickey Hendon's office, Alderman Ed Smith's office, and Bethany Hospital. While our poverty rate is roughly 93%, our students come to school every day with the expectation of receiving quality education. Our students are intelligent, respectful and vibrant. It is our goal to connect every student to postsecondary opportunities in college and the world of work.
