Murphy has been a disapointment for us. The football program is dying on the vine. We were very surprised at the criteria or lack there of for hiring teachers. People put their kids in private schools for different reasons, for a school that promotes christianity we have been very disapointed.
Outstanding athletics and academics. The school's teams have won a numerous quantity of state, league, and district level championships. titles. A student will find a very challenging education here with extremely qualified teachers who are more than wwilling to help. All of my teachers had at least a Masters' Degree and had a thorough knowledge of the field in which they taught. Certainly more challenging than any of the public schools in the adjacent school districts. The teachers do not babysit you at all. I have had first hand experience of being held to a higher standard multiple times. I was not babied in any form. Some would say a 'real' high school experience would include drugs, gangs, and metal detectors and police officers at every entrance. If that is your definition of 'real' then maybe this school isn't for you. This school has outstanding educators, athletics, academics, and performing arts.
This school is an outstanding school, they work your butt of to repare you for college we need more of theses schools in our country!!!!!!!!!!
AMHS was a wonderful high school, it not only prepared me for college but gave me the tools necessary to thrive in the world today. The teachers were caring and expected more fro you challenging you to do better than you expected. There is a real sense of community at the school and i would suggest sending your child there before any public school in the area. High school is what you make of it everyone who didn't give Murphy a chance didn't like it. If your child is willing to learn, be challenged, and wants a great high school experience send them there.
