Community Service

Marshall is committed to bettering the community and providing its students with opportunities to do so. In November 2006, Marshall participated in Operation Christmas Child, in which students, faculty, and parents filled shoeboxes with toys and other supplies to be donated to children. They donated 72 shoeboxes this year to the charity, and educated their students on this charity for further donations.

Marshall also offers a class in Volunteer Outreach, having students volunteer for a full semester at various places, such as animal shelters and hospitals. The school also informs its students on other community service opportunities through bulletin boards and morning announcements.
