SGA

The Marshall SGA/Leadership – General Class is a community service, project-based class that serves to meet the needs of our students and school community. Students develop leadership skills by organizing a service projects for clubs, classes, school, or the community each quarter. Students use the class to collaborate on planning, executing, and reflecting on their events. Leadership students partner with other clubs like Octagon Club and Red Cross Club to support their events in any way. Our goal is to enrich the high school experience for all students by offering events to help Statesmen learn, change, and grow. By the end of the year, Leadership students develop the five traits of a Marshall 5-Star Statesmen: respect, honesty, responsibility, community, and spirit.
