Murrah High School needs significant improvement. The administration isn't well-organized, and it often feels like they don't have the students' best interests in mind. Many things get overlooked, and communication is frequently poor. Students deserve a better environment where we, the students, feel supported, respected, and heard.

I love Murrah high school. It's a great school and it's all about education. Education is one of the biggest factors.

The best part about my experience is playing soccer. The worst part about my experience is when my soccer coach was fired. The athletic program for the soccer team needs to change, the transportation for the teams need to change, the food needs to be more nutritional.
