🏫 Some of our dedicated principals enjoyed connecting with aspiring teachers at today's job fair hosted by Dalton State College. We're excited about the connections made and the potential for new talent to join our dynamic team. Mrs. Rich even found one of her past Timberwolves, Tucker Hemphill. We can't wait to welcome him back to MCS as an educator. Another story of student success from MCS.
If you or a certified teacher you know is interested in joining the MCS team, mark your calendar for our 2024 Job Fair, February 3rd, 9-12 at Woodlawn Elementary.

Happy School Psychologist Week!
This week, we're taking the time to celebrate and thank our fantastic school psychologists for their incredible dedication to the well-being and success of our students. School psychologists play a vital role in our school community, providing academic support and testing, consultation with teachers, parents, and other school staff, guidance, and advocacy for students to promote academic achievement. Thank you for all that you do!
Don't forget the Chattanooga Food Bank Mobile Pantry tomorrow! from 8:00 am - 10:00 am or while supplies last.
This one seemed challenging for you all to figure out.😂 Just kidding! You all guessed instantly, and you were correct. Dr. Jennifer Reed! We are thankful to have Dr.Reed on our team leading our Coker Cubs. She is an excellent asset to our district, and we appreciate all she does. Thank you, Dr.Reed! #URmurray

Murray County Board of Education Achieves 2023
GSBA Exemplary School Board Status
The Murray County School District is proud to announce the achievement and status of the Georgia School Boards Association’s (GSBA) 2023 Exemplary School Board recognition.
The recognition program showcases best practices in school governance and leadership. GSBA recognizes good school board governance to foster educational community cultures in order to advance student learning and achievement.
The Murray County School Board met and/or exceeded the criteria set forth by GSBA to earn the honor of a 2023 Exemplary Board.
The GSBA Governance Team Recognition Program was developed by Georgia superintendents and board members based on the state board of education’s standards for effective governance to recognize exemplary leadership.
In 1998, the Georgia School Boards Association was one of the first school board associations in the nation to develop a program of standards for local boards of education.
The GSBA Board recognition program is three-tiered. For more information on the program, you may visit the GSBA website for awards and recognition or to view the criteria for all program tiers.
Congratulations to our board, and thank you for all you do!
🌟 Happy National Boss's Day! 🌟 to Superintendent Steve Loughridge and Assistant Superintendent Dr. Tim Wright.
Managing a school district of 800 plus employees and 6700 students is a "TALL" order! Luckily, these two guys are up for the challenge!
A big thank you to these exceptional leaders for their hard work and unwavering support. We're grateful to have bosses like them at the helm, dedicated to our student's success and the betterment of Murray County Schools. #URmurray
