History
In February 1926, Murray opened as a neighborhood school with 13 classrooms and a gym. Grades and 7-12 were taught with a total of 200 students enrolled. In 1930, it nearly doubled in size. A new wing was also added. January 1940 saw the opening of the auditorium wing and the science labs underneath. 850 students were then enrolled in grades 7-12. The first graduating class was in June 1940.
During 1963 a new building was added with new gym, pool, and science facilities to reduce overcrowding and double shifts caused by the "baby-boomer" Class of 1964. 1,100 were then enrolled. Murray continued to include grades 7-12.
In early 1979, a new library opened. The last graduating class was in June 1979. Murray opened in 1979 as a general magnet for grades 7-9. In September 1980. it was changed to a 7-8 magnet school. When Murray High School became a junior high school, Como Park Junior High School became Como Park Senior High School and most students went there or to Central High School.
