Murray high has been a great school for my son to attend. They have a lot to offer and are willing to push my son to better himself.

I love my high school! I wish we had a female administrator to help females feel they have someone they can talk too. For those that get in trouble I feel like it would be nice to have some one of the same sex to hand out their punishment. Having a male get on to a female for dress code is not right in my opinion.

The same students stole and hid my phone right before we went on an overnight, weekend long field trip, so I didn't have it the whole time...
