Attending Thurgood Marshall High School in Missouri City as a football player was a defining experience. Known for its competitive athletics and strong sense of community, the school fostered both academic growth and athletic excellence. Playing football taught discipline, leadership, and resilience—on and off the field.

Well after attending this school for 4 years i can say i'm grateful for the experience but it surely could have been better. From being slower to cover topics than other schools in our district, teachers not really caring about teaching and students being out of control. This school taught me how to be comfortable being alone and to stand up for myself.

Horrible experience. Principals and staff never answer the phone. Everytime I encounter them it is unorganized and unprofessional.
