The Murray High Leo Club completed its second full school year as a club at Murray High. Both years the club was awarded the top community service club within the Kentucky Lions District 43K. During the Lion service year, from July to June, the Murray High Leo Club completed 15 service projects, involving 1,123 service hours within the local Murray community.
On Thursday, August 13th, Lion AJ Cunha, one of the Murray Leo Club Advisors, presented the 2025-26 District 73K Lion Service Award to the incoming 2026-27 Leo Club Officers at Murray High School. This recognition is awarded to the Leo Club in Kentucky who completed the most community service hours during the Lion year. The club also increased its club membership and number of service projects completed during the 2025-26 school year.
“Our Lions and Leo Club are extremely thankful to have two very engaged high school club advisors in Haley Burchett and Sarah Hultman. Since our club charter, they have fostered a great environment for motivated students who see a need in the community and address that need in our community as a club. It’s been a privilege with my fellow Lions to watch the club grow and develop as leaders”, said AJ Cunha.
Murray High Leo Club was chartered in April 2023 sponsored by the Murray Lions Club.
LEO stands for Leadership, Experience, and Opportunity. Murray Lions Club has been fully engaged with the Leo Club since its charter, completing projects side-by-side with Leo’s, and establishing the Arvin Crafton Scholarship Fund awarding scholarships to graduating Murray High Leos.
Murray High Leo Club’s first meeting of the school year will be Tuesday, August 27th at 7:45 a.m. in Mrs. Burchett’s Room. Donuts will be provided by the Murray Lions Club.
