All About me
Hello! My name is Mrs. Murphy, and I teach 5th and 6th grade English Language Arts and Social Studies here at Union Heights. I am excited to be entering my sixth year of teaching and feel incredibly blessed to do what I love each day. I grew up in Smith County and attended Union Heights School from kindergarten through 8th grade, making it especially meaningful to now teach in the same place that helped shape me. In addition to teaching, I have the privilege of coaching the UHS girls' basketball team. Outside of school, I enjoy spending time with my family, hunting, and fishing. Teaching is truly my passion, and I strive to make a positive impact on each of my students every school year while helping them grow both academically and personally.
