Education

Marshallville students attend Green Local Schools in nearby Smithville. Marshallville had a three-year high school until 1938 when the State of Ohio told them they could not operate as a three-year school. The building was then closed and students were sent to school in Dalton. After the state discovered they were going across another district ( Orrville) to get to school, they merged their old district into Smithville's in 1955. The Marshallville Tigers were one of the original members of the Wayne County Athletic League's "B" League.
