"Hello, I am the new 3rd grade teacher at Thurgood Marshall! I have been teaching for 16 years, so I know how to get students passionate about education, and excited about Language Arts. I am so proud to be part of the Thurgood Marshall family, and I can't wait to see my students surpass even their wildest dreams."

Welcome to Marshall, Ms. Fowler!

As a former foster-care worker, Ms. Irvin is no stranger to diligence, commitment, and giving back to her community. Regaled for her selfless dedication and devotion to community enrichment, Ms. Irvin agreed to bestow her particular talents on Marshall in the hope of aiding in our cultural restructuring. Her drive for community building and interpersonal enrichment are exactly what our community needs to combat ambivalent attitudes towards attendance, participation, and student involvement. With such a talented individual on board, the sky is the limit in how far our students and our community can grow. 

"Hello, my name is DeAnna Irvin, and I’m the new attendance agent here at Marshall. I decided to become an attendance agent to help with chronic absenteeism at Marshall, and to give back to my community. I’m excited to be part of the DPSCD family. I’m really looking forward to working at Thurgood Marshall Elementary School!"

Welcome to Marshall, Ms. Irvin!

At Marshall, we're passionate about our students and their families. We know they are the ones who make up our community, and without them, our school would come to naught. Thus, it is imperative for us to keep the line of communication between parents, guardians, and families, open. To do this, we must partner with like-minded people who share our passion. Mrs. Splain is one such individual. Her passion for the Marshall community and its families isn't just business, it's personal. In her new capacity at with us, Mrs. Splain will be the main means of contact between parents and Marshall administration. If you ever find yourself with questions or concerns you feel like aren't being properly addressed, you have a representative in our administration--someone who fights for you, your voice, and your child.

"My name is Ine Splain, and I’m the newly appointed Parent Outreach Coordinator (POC), at the Thurgood Marshall Elementary/Middle School. I am committed to developing, strengthening, and maintaining the relationship between Marshall families and staff. I want Marshall parents to know that they matter, and their voices are being heard. When we come and work together, there's nothing that we can't accomplish to help our children succeed. I look forward to working with you all!"
