About Our School

In the fall of 1957, students in grades one through six entered Murray School for the first time. This new school had twenty classrooms. The dedication was held on November 1, 1957.

This school was named in memory of Major General Maxwell Murray, the first commander of Camp Bragg from September 16, 1918 to May 15, 1919. He also served at Fort Bragg as a member of the Field Artillery Board from May 1932 until May 1936. General Murray retired in 1946 after serving over forty-one years in the Army. He died August 4, 1948.

In the fall of 1983, Murray became a K-4 school with the addition of kindergarten students and the transfer of fifth and sixth grade student to Irwin Middle School. Murray is the oldest of the Fort Bragg Schools still in active use. The student population is generally around four hundred students. All of our students live within walking distance of the school. One of the outstanding features of Murray is the sense of community and strong partnership between staff and families.
