One of the best parts of my experience has been sports. I have played football my entire life and love the sport, and around here Murphy is the place to be I have one State Championship and have made it to the third round of the playoffs every year. One thing I would love to see improve is teacher involvement with students and also improve on students readiness for the college life

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