Archbishop Thomas J. Murphy High School is a co-educational private Catholic college-preparatory high school located in Everett, Washington, United States. Founded as Holy Cross High School in 1988 at the old site of Our Lady Of Perpetual Help grade school, it was renamed Archbishop Murphy High School in 1999 and in October moved to its present location.

Contents

The school serves students grades nine through twelve; enrollment has increased from 23 students in 1988 to approximately 467 in 2019.

It is named for Thomas Joseph Murphy, the bishop of the Archdiocese of Seattle from 1991 until his death in 1997. [2]

Sports

Since 2004, Archbishop Murphy has been classified as a 2A school by the WIAA.

In the 2016 football season, 5 schools from the Cascade Conference forfeited league football games against the Archbishop Murphy High School Wildcats, citing depth concerns, fear of injury, and competitive imbalance. Archbishop Murphy went on to win their first 2A state football championship in December of that year. [3] [4]
