Murray Middle School provides an intentional intervention program called the Pilot One-on-One Tutoring Program for students who are academically challenged. The program, now in its 12th year, focuses on students who typically do not have strong home support and are often living in crisis. Studies show that developing a caring relationship is critical to academic success in school. Volunteers get to know the middle-school student because they meet with each other every week.
