History
The building was originally opened in 1958 as Pelton Middle School.[3] In 1994, the middle school was closed and the school was opened. The name comes from Thurgood Marshall, the first African-American justice for the Supreme Court.
A modernization project following a bond in 2020 renovated the cafeteria, main office, classrooms, and kitchen.[4][5]
