About Us

Our goal is to provide a safe, positive, and nurturing learning environment where students will become proficient in all content areas and 21st-century skills. Our Dual Language Immersion program provides further benefits for both English-Language Learners (ELLs) and those fluent in English. Our success is not only measured in numbers, it is also measured by all the enthusiastic and eager learners and supportive parents who call Dr. Peter Marshall their home school. Our active PTA provides leadership, financial support, monthly family nights, an annual carnival, yearbook design, and club sponsorship. Marshall students have access to numerous special programs and academic supports provided by our school staff, the local YMCA, and various community agencies. Partner with us in making these elementary school years the best years for your children.
