Schools

Most of Murray is served by Murray City School District, organized in 1906, with Murray High School, two junior highs, and seven elementary schools. Because of annexations, some areas inside city limits are in Granite School District instead, and several schools in the city, including Cottonwood High, belong to Granite.
