History

John Marshall High School has gone through several phases in its history. Originally opening in far North Oklahoma City 1950, it served as a high school for The Village, Britton, Quail Creek, The Greens, Val Verde and Nichols Hills. The boundaries changed several times over the years. In 2005 the students were split between the original campus and the new campus. For one semester the Oklahoma City Public Schools changed the name of the original location to Centennial High School in an attempt to use the original location as an alternative to the closed Gateway Academy. This did not work out and the remaining students were transferred to the new location. The original location was finally fully closed in 2006.

The abandoned John Marshall and its 20 acres of land are located just blocks from the incorporated community of Nichols Hills, Oklahoma Oklahoma City's historically upscale area for large pricey homes. The school site originally reported selling for $3 million to Pastor Eddie Baker and his nonprofit Golden Hills Ranch to use as a school for at-risk children ages 10 to 18. However, that deal was never completed. [7]

In 2013, Oklahoma City developer Richard Tanenbaum of Gardener Tanenbaum Group paid the Oklahoma City School Board $400,000 for the property. Demolition of the 220,000-square-foot school began in January 2015 with Tanenbaum to build an upscale 270-unit apartment complex on the site. [8]

Athletics

The high school won the 1995 Class 5A State Championship, beating MacArthur (Lawton) High School 21–7. [9]
