Marshall-University High School

Marshall-University High School was a public junior high and high school serving grades 6–12 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The school was founded in 1968 through a merger between John Marshall High School (a Minneapolis public school) and University High School (a laboratory school at the University of Minnesota) in an attempt to diversify the student body. Minneapolis Public Schools closed Central, West and Marshall-University high schools in 1982. The Marshall-University building was later used by the Dinkytown Technical Center. In 2013, the building was razed and The Marshall, a luxury apartment building named after the former school, was built on the site. History University High School was created by the University of Minnesota Board of Regents in 1908 as a laboratory school. The school had selective admissions, and attendance size was kept low. Most of the students were children of University of Minnesota professors. At the time of the Merger the school was located in Peik Hall on the University Campus. John Marshall High School was located at 1313 5th Street SE and was demolished in 2013 after serving as the Dinkytown Technical Center, a commercial office space from 1983 to 2013.
