Murray and Calloway County are founded on quality education. Our two public school systems, Murray Independent Schools and Calloway County Schools, have a rich tradition of being at or near the top among all systems in the State with consistently high scoring on national achievement tests.
In addition to these outstanding schools systems, we are proudly home to Murray State University which is named by Kiplinger, U.S. News and World Report and others as one of America’s Best Universities. With programs ranging from engineering to business and the arts, Murray State is truly a “Hidden Treasure.”
