Not getting notices or emails and would like to stay informed?

Some parents have said they're not aware of our efforts and have not received anything from the SOS Committee regarding the effort to save Daniel Murphy High School. We can't get information to you if we don't have your email address or your phone number. Just as the Archdiocese has forbidden us to meet on school property, they have forbidden the school's current administration from providing us with contact information for the parents of DMHS students. Please make sure we have your current contact information. You can download this form to send us your information. Included with the form is a schedule of past, present and future events.

If you are an alumnus, you can click here to update your information.

** ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL ALUMNI NIGHT **

February 7, 2008

We had another nice turnout of former alumni at the game last Thursday to see Murphy close out the season by beating Animo South 64 - 50. Then on Friday night, Murphy beat St. Anthony 49 - 45 in a playoff game on St. Bernard's campus to clinch 3rd place in the division!

Unfortunately, in the first round of the Division IV-A playoffs, Murphy lost to Yucca Valley 97 - 93. It was an exciting game. Murphy's 6 foot 4 inch freshman, Tenjae Singleton, scored 40 points, including 11 three point baskets and had 10 rebounds in the game.
