POV: Your favorite emojis just walked into the classroom. 😂

Students put their own spin on familiar emojis, bringing them to life through expressions, creativity, and plenty of personality. Activities like this give students a chance to participate, have fun, and connect learning with something they already know.

That is the kind of student engagement we love seeing at Murphy ESD.

Just a quick reminder that a friendly school community can make a big difference. 👋

Our staff and students are always finding ways to connect throughout the school day, whether it is a quick wave in the hallway or a hello before class. Small interactions help create a positive environment where students feel seen and staff feel connected.

Looking for a school community where people know your name? Consider this your sign to check out Murphy ESD.

🏈 The game may be over, but Murphy student athlete's personality deserves a replay!

Before taking the field yesterday, our flag football players shared their game day thoughts, brought the confidence, and showed us the personalities behind the jerseys. We love seeing our students build school spirit, teamwork, and confidence both on and off the field! 💪

The student reviews are in. ⭐

We asked students what they love about Murphy ESD, and their answers say a lot about the experience happening across our schools. From the people they learn with to the educators who support them, students have plenty of reasons to feel connected to their school.

For families exploring their options, sometimes the best perspective comes directly from the students.

When the gradebook is looking THIS good, you might check it twice. 👀📚

Behind every strong grade is a student putting in the work and a teacher making sure they have the instruction, feedback, and support to get there. These are the moments teachers love to see.

This is your reminder that who teaches your child matters. ❤️

At Murphy ESD, teachers do more than lead lessons. They build relationships, encourage students, celebrate progress, and create classrooms where students know they have someone in their corner.

For families looking for a school where connection is part of the experience, this is what being a Murphy student looks like.

If students were in charge of the lunch menu… 😂🍕🌮

We asked our students what they would add to the menu, and their answers definitely gave us some ideas. Beyond the laughs, giving students opportunities to share their opinions helps them feel heard and connected to their school experience.

At Murphy ESD, student voice matters — even when the conversation starts with lunch.

Your child’s next teacher has entered the chat. 👀📚

Meet the educators who bring their own personality, expertise, and teaching style to Murphy ESD classrooms.

Parents: this is who could be making an impact on your child’s school year. Teachers: this could be your next school community.

Parent PSA: not every absence is treated the same. 👀

Our students are here to help break down some common situations that may be considered excused or unexcused. Knowing the difference can help families understand attendance expectations and make informed decisions when a student needs to miss school.

Save this one for later because attendance questions always seem to come up when you least expect them.

Future plans are already in the making. From big career goals to ideas they are still figuring out, our students are thinking about what comes next — and we love hearing what they have to say.

At Murphy ESD, we give students opportunities to explore their interests, build confidence, and discover what they are capable of. The goal? Help every student leave us ready for their next chapter.
