    With the bond’s approval, we will:

    • Rebuild Riverview Junior High School: Providing our students with a safe, modern, and 21st-century learning environment.
    • Expand and Enhance Murray High School: Adding a classroom wing and upgrading security to ensure continuity for grades 9–12, with a focus on graduation pathways and opportunities for all high school students.

    The Murray City community thrives on strong schools that provide a solid education foundation for children.  The Murray City School District (MCSD) will propose a general obligation bond measure to voters on the November 2024 ballot to rebuild Riverview Junior High School and add a classroom wing to Murray High School.

    Murray City School District Procedure for Election Campaign Ethics

  • The Murray Board of Education voted to select two architect firms: Naylor Wentworth Lund to provide design services for the Riverview Jr. High rebuild, and VCBO to provide design services for Murray High School addition.

  • The Murray Board of Education unanimously approved three actions:

    1. The small boundary adjustment proposed on January 11, 2024 (beginning 2024-25 school year);
    2. Intent to pursue a bond measure to fund two construction projects: An addition to Murray High School and a rebuild of Riverview Jr. High School (estimated to be complete 2027-28) ; and
    3. Grade reconfiguration, moving all sixth grade students up to secondary schools and all ninth grade students up to high school; this shifts the District from offering a jr. high school model to a middle school model (estimated to be complete 2027-28)
