Because the Murray City School District operates a single high school, essentially all of Murray City feeds Murray High, with students arriving through the district’s junior highs, Riverview and Hillcrest. City and district lines do not always match, and pockets near the borders can attend Granite District schools instead, so confirm your exact boundary before you rely on a feeder.
