Murray High school has a diverse student body. Murray High does a good job of supporting the diversity through a yearly multicultural week with a night full of performances. Murray high is a good school that could use more funding to help support students even more.

For the most part, Murray is a great school. Some of the teachers need to retire. Other teachers are the most amazing people and educators you will ever meet.

As someone who has been attending Murray schools my entire life, I feel that I have an accurate knowledge of the ongoings of Murray High.
