John Marshall High School offers a good number of Advanced Placement
and honors courses on top of the regular curriculum. The variety of AP courses offered makes it possible to take almost every major subject offered in grades 9-12 in the AP system. Entry to these courses in the past has been granted to students with high grades or letters of recommendation from their previous teachers. Many of the students who have taken AP courses move on to campuses of the University of California
, with some top students achieving admission to Ivy League
universities or other universities in the Top 25, as ranked by U.S. News & World Report
.
Within the school, there are many Small Learning Communities including the School for Environmental Studies, the school's only California Partnership Academy, the Performing Arts Academy, the Artistic Vision Academy, the STARS Academy, the Renaissance Academy, and the Social Justice Academy. The School also houses a School for Advanced Studies and a Gifted/Highly Gifted Magnet.
During the first semester of the school's existence, the faculty and students cooperatively selected the school motto
, seal
, and colors. The school motto, Veritas Vincit (Truth Conquers...), was an easy choice since this was a favorite sentiment of John Marshall. The school seal shows an open Book of Learning, behind which is projected the scales of justice
with Veritas Vincit emblazoned on the bar. Two shades of blue became the official colors of the high school; the moonlight blue of midnight and the sunlight blue of dawn. Since the color blue is symbolic of truth, the choice of colors harmonized with the school's motto. John Montapert and Henry Suykida, two Marshall students who graduated in the Winter Class of 1939, composed "Alma Mater", the official school song.
Johnny Barrister is the school’s mascot. Since John Marshall was in the legal profession and served as a jurist it was fitting that Marshall’s students be called “Barristers.” The school's service organization is the Continentals. A bust
of John Marshall stands in the center of the Senior Court.
Following the Sylmar earthquake
of 1971, some of Marshall’s buildings were condemned. The cafeteria
was torn down, but the Los Feliz community, led by "Citizens to Save Marshall" activists Sherril Boller, Joanne Gabrielson, Alberta Burke, and Nina Mohi, tirelessly campaigned to save the unique Collegiate Gothic
Main Building. In 1975, this building was closed for structural strengthening and all classes moved to temporary bungalow
s. In September 1981 the refurbished Main Building was opened. A new building now houses the library
, cafeteria, and science classrooms.
Today, Marshall has an enrollment of approximately 4,500 students and a teaching staff of 200.
The school will be relieved by Central Region High School 13 when the school opens in 2011 http://www.laschools.org/project-status/one-project?project_number=56.40007.

History
Designed by architect George M. Lindsey in the Collegiate Gothic style, and constructed in 1930, John Marshall High School first opened its doors on January 26, 1931 with approximately 1200 students and 48 teachers. Joseph Sniffen, for whom the auditorium was named, served as the Principal, while Hugh Boyd and Geraldine Keith acted as Marshall’s first Vice-Principals. The football field was named in Mr. Boyd's honor, while the library was named for Mrs. Keith.During the first semester of the school's existence, the faculty and students cooperatively selected the school motto
