We encourage students to make the most of their 8th grade year. Kathy Chu is our mathematics educator who is teaching four regular math classes and one algebra I class. Dierdre Golberg is the science teacher. Nancy Sonka teaches communication arts which consists of the study of literature, grammar, and writing. All of our team teachers teach a section of social studies.
Social studies covers United States geography, history, and government as well as current events.
In grade 8 Carrie Schuman is our special education teacher. She team teaches with Ms. Chu, Mrs. Golberg, and Mrs. Sonka along with having her own learning labs. We are enthusiastic as a team and look forward to preparing students for high school. Special Education Supporting the nine academic teams is the staff in special education which provides services to eleven percent of Marshall's total student population. Our goal is for students to be successful in co-taught classes with their peers as much as possible, and to provide smaller, varied resource centers when needed.
