Welcome to Murphy High School's Academies!

Academies are high schools that are arranged in small learning communities assuring that every student has a career pathway designed to create college and career ready graduates. Each high school in the Mobile County Public School System has a Signature Academy, which is an identified academy that allows students to transfer to that school from their zoned high school. The goal is to facilitate the exploration of college and career options while incorporating mentoring, job shadowing, internships, and other field experiences for students. Many students will gain credentials and employment opportunities through the academies.

With the help of parents, administrators, counselors, and the Signature Academy Specialist, students will select an academy at the end of their freshman year. Students must take three sequential courses within an academy prior to graduation to be considered a completer.
