Murphy High has great teachers and staff. The school has a long standing tradition of excellent sports teams.

Murphy is a school of sports. Education could be better and many other things. I am currently the student body president of Murphy High School and am trying my very best to make a change and fix things.

Murphy High School has been a great place to spend the last four years. We have such a tight-knit community, with teachers who truly care about our well being. The atmosphere is always very positive and it is a pleasure to be surrounded by great people. Though our facilities are not very nice, (something we can not help), the people make up for it.
