Martin Murphy Middle School

This middle school is fantastic! The principal is very caring and knowledgeable! Their I Center is fantastic, and the students are well behaved!

Went here probably 13 years ago and have a bunch of awesome memories of it despite the fact that I was super emo during that time period here (for no reason other than being at the right age for puberty), lacked self confidence and didn’t know my place in life (socially-​speaking).
I recall the school principle wearing red boots that me and my friends called hooker heels. I remember the history/​PE teacher (his name I will not disclose) writing in his notebook on the school roof while we did our physical exercises. Me and my friends would come up with emo/“profound” lines he might have been writing in his notebook. We also thought he was super mean and heartless because he’d make us run our ½ mile (4 days out of the 5 days) and 1 mile (1 day of the 5 days) even in the rain. As an Asian kid with a superstitious grandma, I thought I was going to for sure get sick! My friends and I were also certain that he was having an affair with the Asian secretary (?) at school. He would also flirt with the good-​looking moms during school field trips.
I also remember my creepy Spanish teacher who bragged a lot about his daughter and who always got chalk on his butt from leaning on the board. I had a good-​looking female math teacher who ran a lot of marathons and an English teacher with a dog who had to wear diapers because of his uncontrollable bowel movements. She used my posters as the class example for how posters should look like because she favored me. I could turn in lower quality work and not get docked points for it.
I learned about my love for cooking after taking a foods course here in the 7^th grade. Our first recipe was rice krispy treats and our 2^nd was for muffins. I also took a ceramics class with a hippie-​dippie quirky teacher who turned a Simon and Garfunkel song into a «score and slip» ceramics-​related song.
