Chicago’s Marshall High School, plagued by drugs and gang violence, was described as “out of control” by the city’s Board of Education in 1975. “Marshall High Fights Back” takes us into the corridors with principal Robert Saddler and into the classroom with teacher George Crockett for a look at how good teachers and a good principle make a difference in any kind of school. Produced for Frontline.
