Marshall Campus closure

Español | Tiếng Việt | Русский | 中文 | af Soomaaliga

The three schools on the Marshall Campus — BizTech, Pauling and Renaissance Arts — closed at the end of the 2010-11 school year.

Students who would have been assigned to Marshall for high school were directed to different schools. These assignments were based on students' neighborhood elementary or K-8 schools:

Students in the Harrison Park K-8 School area attend Madison High School.
Students in the Kelly and Woodmere Elementary School areas, and the Bridger, Lent and Marysville K-8 areas, attend Franklin High School.
Students in the Whitman Elementary School area attend Cleveland High School.

Freshmen, sophomores and juniors in the 2010-11 school year attend Franklin High School or Madison High School.

School district teachers, counselors and administrators are worked with Marshall Campus students and families, and Franklin and Madison representatives, to ease the transition for students and staff.
