The high school is named for Matthew Fontaine Maury.

Maury High School has a Pre-Medical Health and Specialities Program for 9th-12th graders.

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.

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