Honoring a Legacy: Marshall Fundamental Renamed Thurgood Marshall Secondary School
The Pasadena Unified School District Board of Education Members voted, “Yes.” Unanimously on Thursday night for the name change from John Marshall Fundamental Secondary School to Thurgood Marshall Secondary School.
Why the name change?
• Fundamental = traditional education (agriculture, homemaking, hygiene, citizenship)
• Marshall’s current reality exceeds “fundamental” standards – Advanced Placement, Academy for Creative Industries, Puente, championship athletics
• Marshall’s mission and EAGLE values align with Justice Thurgood Marshall’s legacy of racial equality and social justice.
