Marshall School is an independent, coeducational, college-preparatory day school in Duluth, Minnesota for students in grades 4 through 12. Students of diverse socioeconomic, religious, ethnic and racial backgrounds from a variety of geographic areas attend the school.
Marshall School is sometimes referred to as Duluth Marshall at Minnesota State High School League athletic tournaments.
The mission of Marshall School is to educate students to become global citizens who demonstrate strong academic habits, respect, compassion, integrity, self-discipline, and intellectual curiosity.
Founded in 1904 by the Catholic Diocese of Duluth, Duluth Cathedral was originally a high school for boys. In 1910, the diocese added girls, but it wasn't until 1942 that the school was fully coeducational.
In 1963, the school moved to the newly constructed campus on Rice Lake Road, where it remains to this day.
When the Catholic Diocese of Duluth could no longer afford to sustain the Cathedral in 1971, a group of civic and religious leaders who believed that a high-quality, college-preparatory education was essential to the future of northern Minnesota assumed governance of Cathedral Senior High School in 1972. This is considered the founding of Marshall School because of its newly established status as an independent, all-faith school. However, the school remained named Cathedral High School until 1987.
In 1987, the school’s name was changed to Marshall School to highlight its independent status and to honor the Albert Morley Marshall family, whose vision and resources over three generations enhanced the quality of education and life in Duluth.
Marshall School officially purchased the 35-acre campus from the Diocese of Duluth in 1995 for $1.1 million.
Over the years, Marshall School has expanded from a high school serving grades 9-12 to a middle school and high school serving grades 4-12. Grades 7 and 8 were added in 1981 and grades 5 and 6 in 1993, when the school reorganized into separate middle schools and high schools. Fourth grade was eventually added in 2011.
Marshall is the only independent school in northern Minnesota and northwestern Wisconsin. Students from 20 school districts and a wide geographic area attend Marshall. In recent years, an increasing number of out-of-state and international students have attended Marshall and lived with local families.
The campus is on a 40-acre hillside overlooking Lake Superior and downtown Duluth and includes academic and technology centers, athletic fields, cross-country ski trails, tennis courts, a hockey rink, and fine arts and performance areas. In 2016, on-campus housing was added for international students.
