Thomas C. Marsh Junior High School

School Colors: Gold and Black School Mascot: Matador

The only junior high school that fed the W. T. White Class of 1970, the school (now known as Thomas C. Marsh Middle School) is located at 3838 Crown Shore Drive. It is named for Thomas Corbett Marsh (1831-1889), an early pioneer that arrived in Dallas from Kentucky in 1844 and settled on Farmers Branch in the area that is now near the intersection of Marsh Lane and Valley View Lane. By the end of the 1800s, Marsh owned and managed one of the largest and most prosperous farms in North Texas (more than 700 acres) and was successful in raising large stock. The school is built on the land that originally belonged to this prosperous family. When the eventual WTW Class of 1970 went to Marsh Junior High, it was being fed by the following elementary schools: Cabell, DeGolyer, Marcus, and Withers.
