Thurgood Marshall Academy for Learning and Social Change is a public middle and high school in New York City serving grades 6 to 12.[1] It is named for United States Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall.

The school is at 200-214 W 135th Street in Harlem. The school opened in 1993 with Harriet Pitts as principal.[2]

The school's student body is 70 percent African American and 26 percent Hispanic. About 70 percent are from economically disadvantaged families.[1]

After moving four times in its first 11 years, it moved into a new $38 million 6-story 90,000 square foot school building in 2004. Thurgood Marshall's wife Cecilia Marshall was among the dignitaries to attend opening ceremonies for the new school building.[3]

Calvin Butts III and the Abyssinian Development Corporation (ADC) were involved in founding the school.[3][4][5]

Retailer Burlington helped fund a 2017 renovation of the school's library.[6] In 2017, a teacher at the school was charged with assault after allegedly grabbing a 17-year-old female student by the neck.[7]
