School district holds Murchison groundbreaking

The first phase of Murchison Middle School’s long-awaited modernization project begins this summer. To celebrate the milestone, the school is hosting a groundbreaking ceremony open to Murchison students, their families and the entire community. As part of the modernization, the school library and administration will be relocated and a space to house the sixth grade and a bus loop will be added. Murchison Principal Beth Newton, AISD Trustee Kristin Ashy and AISD Superintendent Paul Cruz will be on hand to make brief remarks, and student representatives will read poems dedicated to their school. The event will take place in the courtyard near the tennis courts at Murchison Middle School, 3700 North Hills Drive, on Tuesday, May 21, at 9 a.m.
