History

Maury High School opened its doors in 1911 and was completely renovated in 1986. This modernization maintained the architectural integrity of the original neo-classical structure while converting Maury into an educational facility complete with media center and cafeteria atria where unused courtyards once stood.

Attendance zone

On-property housing for Joint Forces Staff College is zoned to Maury, so dependent children living on-base attend Maury.[2]
