The school isn't diverse, so the kids are within one cultural bubble. They don't really know if they are being offensive when it comes to someone of a different race or ethnicity.

I have had a great experience at Murray. I have always felt welcome and at home. Everyone involved with the school is helpful and caring. I wouldn't choose any other school. Most students are in every club, not just one. You never feel left out or unaccepted.
