George C. Marshall High School is located near Interstate 495 and Va. 7 in Northern Virginia. Founded in 1962, the school has an academic, athletic and extracurricular program that stands up to the legacy of its namesake general and former secretary of state.
Marshall High prides itself on a hands-on, project-based learning approach. Students from the Tysons Corner and Pimmit Hills areas can participate in an International Baccalaureate program and a STEM Academy. The language program has seven different tracks, including American Sign Language. The school also offers no-cost summer tutoring programs and wide-ranging technical programs, including a nursing program, culinary arts program and cutting-edge information technology. The Marshall High Statesmen teams are known for football and cross country and track and field. While their peers race across the finish line to add to the school's five state championships, the tennis and basketball teams are also forces to be reckoned with. The theater program is just as impressive, boasting six orchestras and bands.

I had a great time at Marshall, especially through the IB Diploma and Cross Country program. If you are able to find an activity in each category (clubs, sports, academics, or a mix) you can be really successful - but a lot of work on your own is needed.

the best parts were the diversity of the school, the worst was the lack of enforcement of certain students

At Marshall I've had a great experience playing for the football team. I have also taking many difficult classes, and the teachers have been a great help in preparing me for college. Marshall is the highschool if you want to go to college.
