About Us
The
Clifford H. Marshall Elementary school was founded in September 1998.
The schools stands on the hill at 200 Moody Street at Quincy Point. This
elementary school is a pioneer in the advancement of technology for the
twenty-first century. It is full equipped with a computer lab facility, an
in-house video broadcasting system, classroom telephones, and central air
conditioning. The school is dedicated in loving memory of the late
Clifford H. Marshall (1937-1995). Mr. Marshall, a Ward Two resident,
dedicated his life to politics. He represented the Quincy Point community
as a member of the City Council in the early years of his career. In
1974, he was elected Sheriff of Norfolk County and served as Sheriff for over
twenty years.
My idea of politics is to help people -- Clifford H. Marshall
Message from the Principal of Marshall
One of the truly marvelous experiences in education is the way students and staffs alike begin anew every year when the bell tolls. A fresh start, another chance, a clean slate is a great opportunity to refocus our efforts and to rekindle our dedication in developing self-fulfilling individuals, contributing citizens and competent workers in a democratic society. Add to that a beautiful new school, combined with the strong historical roots of both the Pollard and Daniel Webster Schools and then you choose a name to honor a very special person like Clifford Marshall-it is hard to contain the joy and happiness that is ours. We are proud to honor his name and to continue his efforts of helping others.
Piaget once said, "What an individual can learn and how he learns it depends on what model he has available." We are blessed indeed to have the best models available. From our outstanding staff, to our new computer lab, from our beautiful gymnasium, to our multi-purpose cafeteria, from our spacious classrooms to our acres of play space, we are the recipients in a city that values and promotes excellence in education. It is indeed an honor and a privilege for me to welcome you to our school. Click here to view/print a copy of Marshall's 2007-2008 School Improvement Plan.

Partners
Quincy Public Schools are proud that leading businesses recognize the quality and innovation in our schools - and have made a commitment to helping our schools be the very best. Our Partnership Program allows businesses to bring their strengths directly to our students. Read about the great things our partners are doing...
These Partners make a special contribution to Clifford Marshall:
Quincy Mutual Fire Insurance Company
Quincy Mutual provides a generous financial donation (yearly) to support our school. They also host the “Golden Spoon Luncheon” for our 4th grade classes (5 times per year). The classes are given a tour of the building, learn about the business and have lunch at Quincy Mutual’s dining facility. The company also allows employees to come to our school and read to our younger classes throughout the year. Mr. Meskell and Quincy Mutual are “outstanding” business partners.
Bank of Canton
The Bank of Canton provides the “Savings Makes Cents” program for all five of our 3rd grade classes. Bank representatives meet with the students twice a month. They explain banking procedures, promote savings and assist students in opening savings accounts. The program concludes with a field trip to the Federal Reserve in Boston. We enjoy our relationship with The Bank of Canton.
ABCD Foster Grandparent Program
The Foster Grandparent Program currently provides us with four grandparents.
They work in assigned classrooms 4 hrs. per day on Monday – Wednesday – Thursday
and Friday. The Marshall School is in its eighth year of affiliation with this
program. The grandparents assist classroom teachers and provide individual help
for students. This partnership creates a win/win situation for all involved.
