30 years?...no way is this happening to ME!. I don't feel old,
I mean I might look a little different but, 47, 48 or so...that's not old!
(Unless your a dog)
Still, this can't be right!
This is not happening to me,
This is not happening to me,
I mean,..... this is the kind of stuff that
happens to your parents.....
Memories? Who thought about making memories?
We were just trying to get out of school,
now we are trying to remember what we were doing back then,
oh my gosh this is not happening...
this will not, should not, cannot happen!!
Located on a sprawling forty-acre campus at 100 South Carlen Street near downtown Mobile, Murphy High School boasts a proud tradition of excellence. Fourteen bulidings accommodate approximately 2000 students and 130 faculty and staff members. In 1982, Murphy High School was placed on the United States Departmenet of the Interior National Register of Historic Places.
In April, 1976 Murphy celebrated its golden anniversary as the oldest high school in Alabama. Originally named Mobile High School, the name of the school was changed in 1927 to Murphy High School in honor of Mr. Samuel S. Murphy, who served as superintendent of school for Mobile County from 1900-1926.
Murphy High School is a charter member of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, the official accrediting agency for the Southern states. It has recently been select for membership on the College Entrance Examination Board and as a Model High School for the Nation.
Murphy High School Seal
Designed by prominent Mobile artist Roderick D. MacKenzie and presented to the school by the Barton Academy senior class of 1920, the school seal is used on all class jewelry and other formal school material.
The seal shows a Murphy student in cap and gown pursuing his studies with the world before him. Standing at his left is Truth, whose mirror reflects the light of the knowledge of his work, while at his right stands Winged Victory, prepared to crown him with a laurel wreath for successful effort. Within the design the letter “B” is superimposed by the letter “A,” standing for Barton Academy, which was founded in 1852 and is the predecessor of Mobile High School, renamed Murphy High School in 1927.
School Colors
Blue and gold were chosen as the school's colors in 1852 by the first graduating class of Barton Academy. The blue represents the color of southern skies, and the gold reflects the bold brightness of the sun.
The Mohian
The name 'Mohian' was derived from: Mo from Mobile, hi from High School and an from the word annual. Thus Mohian. (ah....just thought you might like to know that)
