Having an educated population that is soon ready to enter into the workforce is just one of the many benefits that business owners can expect from choosing to house their business in Marshall, Texas.

In a town with a population of 25,000, having four institutions of higher education creates a certain uniqueness. The Marshall Independent School District also works collaboratively with these schools to encourage students to go from high school to a certification or degree without ever even needing to leave home.
