As the Principal of Marietta High School, I am proud to share the incredible work our staff is doing to ensure that every student at Marietta High succeeds — no exceptions. Guided by our Tiger Guarantees, we are committed to creating an environment where all students receive high-quality education, supported by strong instruction, high expectations, and personalized learning.

The Tiger Guarantees are central to everything we do at Marietta High School:

High Expectations and a Growth Mindset: Our teachers and staff believe that every student can meet and exceed high expectations. With a growth mindset approach, we work to provide the support necessary for every student to rise to the challenge. In my experience, building this culture of belief is key to empowering students to achieve their full potential.
Engaging, Student-Centered Instruction: At Marietta High, we prioritize hands-on, minds-on learning where students are actively engaged in the thinking process. Throughout my career, including my work leading curriculum development, I’ve focused on ensuring that our classrooms are places of deep learning, where students are encouraged to explore high-interest topics and think critically.
Access to Quality Instructional Materials and Grade-Level Work: We ensure that every student has access to high-quality, standards-aligned materials, no matter where they are in their academic journey. Through thoughtful scaffolding and individualized interventions, we bring all students to grade-level proficiency, allowing them to engage meaningfully with their education. My experience in budgeting and streamlining resources has enabled us to provide these opportunities for every student.
Data-Driven Instruction: We use assessments not only to evaluate the class as a whole but also to identify and address individual student needs. This personalized approach ensures that every student has the support they need to succeed. Data analysis and reflective practices have been critical in my leadership to ensure that our instructional decisions are always informed by evidence.
Consistency Across Classrooms: It’s important that our students experience consistency in quality instruction, no matter which class they are in. Through continuous professional development, our teachers are trained and proficient in instructional strategies that work. As we strive for this, my goal has been to ensure that all students have equal access to the best teaching practices across our school.

As we work together on our Path to 95%, I am excited by the growth and success I see in our students. With a firm commitment to our Tiger Guarantees, I am confident that Marietta High will continue to be a place where every student has the opportunity to thrive and succeed.

Thank you for your ongoing support and dedication to our students’ futures. Together, we will continue to make Marietta High a place of excellence — for every Tiger, no exception.

Sincerely,
Tim Fleming
