    TMAHS' Mission

    At Thurgood Marshall Academic High School, students gain the skills they need to go on to lead healthy, productive, and choice-filled lives and graduate with a plan for how they will achieve their goals. 

    TMAHS' Vision

    Thurgood Marshall Academic High School is a multiculturally and multilingually diverse community of scholars that focuses primarily on ensuring our students graduate with the skills necessary to identify and define their goals, plan for post-secondary success, and achieve in college and career.

    At TMAHS, students and staff hold themselves and each other to high expectations. We utilize project-based learning to explore and create relevant, real-world experiences that challenge our students to think creatively and critically. We nurture safe, supportive, and joyful classrooms that are rooted in antiracism and rigor. Our students and staff feel a strong sense of self, of belonging, and of purpose and strive for excellence.

    TMAHS is a community school that authentically partners with students, families, and the larger San Francisco community. Our students are empowered to learn and grow through meaningful field trips, work-based learning, wrap around services, and out-of-school-time programming.

    We support the whole person.
    We implement experiential learning.
    We embrace and celebrate our community’s cultural diversity and shared experience.
    We are rooted in strong collaboration.
    We integrate language, literacy and content.
