Marshall High School Newsletter

This week at Marshall High, we’ve been making great strides! We’ve started the exciting process of converting the old autoshop into a new multi-purpose room. Once complete, this space will serve as a hub for student activities during lunch and after school, offering much-needed flexibility for our growing programs. I have met with ASB, PTSA, and other stakeholders to discuss possible uses. We will reach out to families soon to get a little help in cleaning it up and making it an inviting space.

We also celebrated our students’ achievements with a pep rally honoring our flag football team and girls’ volleyball team for their playoff appearances.

I also want to announce our new choir club, facilitated by Mr. Van Wagner. They sound amazing already. I can't wait to hear them perform.

Thank you for your continued support as we work to enhance the experiences of all our students.

Yours in service,

Juan Puentes

The Shared Decision Making (SDM) Council met on Wednesday to vote on the district’s proposed options, selecting one for implementation at Marshall. Comprised of elected parents, students, teachers, and staff, the SDM Council voted 13-1 in favor of adopting the Yondr magnetic pouch system. Leading up to the February implementation, Marshall will host additional meetings for students, parents, faculty, and staff to discuss the details and address any questions about the rollout process.
