Dr. John Marshall receiving a surprise award at DSF

HENRICO, Va., March 11, 2024 — John Marshall, principal of Douglas S. Freeman High School, has been awarded the 2023-24 REB Award for Distinguished Educational Leadership. The Community Foundation and the REB Foundation present the award to four principals annually — one each from the school divisions of Henrico, Chesterfield and Hanover counties and one from the city of Richmond. Marshall was surprised with the news Monday at a gathering in the school’s library, attended by his family, students and Henrico County Public Schools leaders. Marshall will receive a $10,000 cash grant and an additional $20,000 for school projects. He plans to use the funds to create “FC Freeman,” an in-school, incentive-based soccer club program. The program will connect students and families from different backgrounds and nationalities, using a common love of soccer. It will include peer-tutoring and other support for students. Jennifer Rhoden, principal of David A. Kaechele Elementary School, was runner-up for the award. She will receive a $10,000 grant to create a serene area for students to relax, recharge, create and socialize. The project will include a maker space. The REB award recognizes principals who go beyond the day-to-day demands of their jobs to create an exceptional educational environment. The award stresses management and communication skills, and the ability to inspire, encourage and advocate for the school. Nominees must have served as principal at their school for at least three years. “Any success I have is because of the people around me,” Marshall said Monday at the gathering. “I know it sounds cliché, but it happens to be true. And I just get to take credit for it … I have a lot of gratitude to be recognized, and it means a lot that people notice that we’re doing good work here. “A during-school-day soccer program for our multilingual learners will help them really feel part of school, to be celebrated and to tie that to positive behavioral awards … We’re all about making sure there’s a Freeman family for all, and that everybody feels a part of what we do here.” Marshall served three years as associate principal at Douglas Freeman before becoming the school’s leader in 2019. He joined HCPS in 2005 as a history teacher and wrestling coach at Varina High School. Marshall became social studies department chair at Glen Allen High School, and then the school’s assistant principal. He was named HCPS’ Instructional Leader of the Year in 2022 and won the Kay Vasse Memorial Award for Outstanding Service to English Learners in 2019. Originally from Bridgewater, he earned a bachelor’s from the College of William & Mary, a master’s from the University of Virginia and a doctorate from Virginia Commonwealth University.

Some reminders for Monday morning! First, don't forget that school starts tomorrow (Monday, August 21)! This is earlier in the year than normal so It’s worth a reminder 😊. Second, building entry could take slightly longer than normal for the first few days, so leave plenty of time in the morning. Students will walk through our scanners with backpacks on (and keys and phones in pockets) with no delay, but some metal water bottles, thick binders and metal lunchboxes could slow things up a bit. Third, entry into the building in the morning looks a little different than normal. To accommodate our new safety plan, we will have two points of entry for students on Monday morning. Almost all of our students will enter the building through the bus ramp doors. Car riders and student drivers will walk up through the tennis courts and up the sidewalk along the bus ramp to the bus ramp doors. Walkers and those coming from the Ridge Baptist area can enter through the main hall doors under the “auditorium” side. See the attached diagram for specifics.
