Murfreesboro has taught me many lessons. I have learned skills to use outside of the classroom. The only bad experience with the school is not much help from the counselor she signing up for college classes. The school has offered the opportunity to take concurrent classes, but it was difficult to get signed up for my classes.

The time I spent at Murfreesboro High School was an unforgettable experience for sure. It had high points and low points like every high school, but this place is different everyone knows everybody and we're connected so well we grew up friends and graduated friends. All in all I had a fantastic experience at Murfreesboro High School.

Although Murfreesboro high school is in a small town, it is not the best school it could be. Staff could teach at a faster pace. But all in all, it is a less than average school.
