Welcome Back to DCMS, Coach Matt Marshall!
.
Decatur County Middle School is excited to welcome Coach Matt Marshall back to campus as Assistant Principal, Athletic Director, and Behavioral Support Interventionist for the 2025–26 school year!
.
A proud Decatur County native, Coach Marshall began his educational journey as a student in this very school system. After earning his Bachelor of Science from Lambuth University and a Master’s in Administration and Supervision from Tennessee State University, he was blessed to begin and build his 29-year career right here at home—serving the community he loves.
.
Coach Marshall’s career began at Parsons Junior High, where he taught 8th grade Science and Health & PE while also coaching football. When DCMS was formed, he transitioned to the middle school, continuing his teaching and coaching duties while also becoming a school bus driver and later Assistant Principal. Most recently, he served as Assistant Principal at Parsons Elementary for the past three years.
.
Now returning to DCMS, Coach Marshall brings a wealth of experience and a heart for students. “I am excited to return to DCMS as an Assistant Principal,” he shared. “My 26 years’ experience working with the middle school age group has given me the knowledge to be able to facilitate most, if not all, the situations that could occur at the middle school level.”
.
This year, he’s adding a few more hats to his role—serving as both Athletic Director and Behavioral Support Interventionist. With 18 years of coaching football and a lifelong love for athletics, Coach Marshall is a natural fit to lead the school's athletic programs. He also looks forward to implementing positive behavioral strategies that support the whole child, not just their academic performance.
.
DCMS Principal, Ms. Kodi Breeden, shared, “I look forward to Coach Marshall’s assistance with behavioral interventions, safety and security, along with being our Athletic Director.”
.
When he’s not on campus, Coach Marshall enjoys traveling, watching movies, and cheering on the Tennessee Vols in any sport. He and his wife Kara are both dedicated supporters of Decatur County students and families.
.
As Coach Marshall put it best: “I hope that the students, parents, and all staff are as enthusiastic about the upcoming school year as I am.” 💙💛
