Marshall High School (MHS) is a 5A public school in Marshall, Texas, United States. It is part of the Marshall Independent School District which serves students in central Harrison County. In 2014, the school was rated "Academically Acceptable" by the Texas Education Agency.
On September 12, 1898, Marshall High School began operation in a building leased from College of Marshall.
The first Marshall High School had only two teachers, who instructed 30 students in five subjects: Latin, English, history, math, and science. Only grades 8–10 were taught when the school opened, but by 1902 had expanded through the 12th grade. The first graduate of MHS was Miss Verbena Barnes. In 1900 there were three graduates.
On September 25, 1905, the newly constructed East Side Building was opened for grades 1-12. However, due to the rapid growth of both the elementary classes as well as the high school, overcrowding became an issue almost immediately. MHS was relocated in 1907 to the old Masonic Female Institute campus to alleviate the crowded facility, but also to provide much needed science lab space for the students.
