Our Story

Since 1958, John Marshall High School has been a cornerstone of northwest Rochester, MN, fostering a vibrant community of over 1,500 students. We embrace diversity, with over 30 languages spoken within our walls, reflecting the richness of our cultural tapestry.

​

Our commitment to the whole student from academic excellence to extracurricular activities and opportunities for personal growth is unwavering. a testament to the dedication of our faculty and staff, and the hard work and potential of our students. We all work hard to ensure that our students thrive both inside and outside the classroom.

​

Part of that commitment to the full student is being a full-service community school. This means that we go beyond traditional education by providing a comprehensive range of services and supports to our students and families, in partnership with the entire community. We believe that every child deserves to succeed, and we are dedicated to removing barriers that may stand in their way and opening doors to opportunity.
