Marcus Whitman Junior High School

Posted April 28, 2009

I have been a teacher for 29 years and a parent of four who went through the public school system. Marcus Whitman has been a very pleasant experience for me, as the administration works hard to make the school a consistent and comfortable environment where student learning is a strong focus. The teachers, on the whole, are compassionate, caring and dedicated professionals who stay current in their fields of study. Most students are cooperative and care about their learning. My only complaint is that there are a handful of students who don't care, and some of them disrupt the learning of the rest. The steps of discipline go on for a long time before a disruptive student is removed, which wastes time in paperwork & phone calls. However, putting this on the positive side, students are given many chances for success, and some difficult students do mend their ways and succeed.

Marcus Whitman is such an awesome school and I think it deserves more credit than it is getting. The teachers and staff are great and always strive to help us learn. The first thing on their minds is always to help us be successful. This is only my first year, but I believe that Marcus is a great school!

With several hundred kids to manage I think they do a pretty exceptional job at Marcus Whitman. Now with the possible help from a passed levy it may even that much better. Academics, sports, Music extrcurricular activities are wonderfull ...we didn't get to say by to Mr ODonnell Hope your having a happy retirement coach!
