Are You Ready For The Upcoming Elections

Murray is my home community and has been for the past 20 years. My husband and I raised all of our children here participating in all that Murray has to offer.
Murray is a tight knit community which includes only seven Elementary Schools - the Grant Bulldogs - Horizon Husky - Liberty Leopards - Longview Lynx - McMillan Mighty Mites - Parkside Panthers - Viewmont Eagles. Two Junior High Schools - Hillcrest Gladiators - Riverview Rebels. Eventually all students are one in High School - Murray High Spartans. We are proud of our school and the students that attend.
We are known as the Tree City, being one of the original settlements in when the pioneers settled in Utah. The first thing they did was to plant trees in this desert land to bring some of the beauty and shade they were accustomed to.
There is an abundance of recreational and educational programs offered in our small community. To name a few we have our annual Fun Days, Arts in the Park, regular tours of our Historic District, our own Museum, Library, Golf Courses, Police Department, Fire Department, Historic Cemetery which include some of the original settlers of the Salt Lake Valley to our most current residents. We have our own Parks and Recreation department who oversee year round activities. The list goes on!
