Joseph M. Murphy, III

The Joseph M. Murphy, III Memorial Scholarship Fund was established to honor the life and legacy of Joey Murphy, a 1999 graduate of Winchester High School. Joey was a standout athlete, excelling in football, basketball, and lacrosse, and was a tri-captain of the 1999 State Championship Lacrosse Team. He was also an honor roll student and a member of the National Honor Society. Following his untimely passing at the age of 18, the scholarship was created to support graduating seniors from Winchester High School who demonstrate excellence in both academics and athletics. The scholarship is awarded annually to two or more male and two or more female student-athletes who have participated in varsity sports and maintained good academic standing. 

 

In addition to the scholarship, Joey's legacy is commemorated through various initiatives. For instance, in 2000, the Boston College/Holy Cross lacrosse game was held at Winchester's Knowlton Field in his honor, and his number 22 jersey was retired at the end of the season. Additionally, a Lacrosse Training Wall at the Ciarcia Fields Complex was dedicated in his memory on November 26, 2019.

 

We hope you will consider a contribution to the Joseph M. Murphy, III Fund to honor Joey’s great legacy.
