Education

There are two public schools here in Marshall including the Head Start Program. In the community of Marshall, there are ten teachers, four instructional aides and one secretary.

According to State Law and the District Attorney, a person can attend school till the age of twenty, although he/she will need permission from the 5 member Advisory School Board (A.S.B) of their school.

The most important thing high school students here in Marshall need to learn, according to Principal, Mike Hull, is taking responsibility. This is especially important after high school graduation. High school education is more structured and the students get more help from the teachers. They are more closely monitored. But college education is mostly about responsibility. You are always on your own and must take responsibility for your own decisions.

The first high school class here inMarshall to graduate was Lena Fitka and Nick Duny. Both graduated in the year 1980. They graduated in the old red school which was torn down eleven years ago.

The Alaska Legislature has kept the budget the same for the last couple of years. And they are now exploring theVoucher system, i.e. the opportunity of a student to choose his own school. The Governor and the Legislature aren't doing anything about improving education in the villages by keeping it at the same funding level. As Mike Hull said, since our reading and language skills have already improved, we need more challenging reading, science and social studies to make our skills increase even more.
