History of Moody Jr. High School

In the Fall of 2002, a unique and marvelous opportunity was given to the 12-14 year-old students of Moody. An old high school was vacated to make room for the 7th and 8th grade students giving them the opportunity to participate in state-wide Jr. High School events including cheerleading, math, science, geography, spelling, and scholar bowl competitions as well as numerous sports competitions. Students also have the fantastic opportunity to participate in a Washington, D.C. or New York week-long educational experience that alternates yearly that is available with parental support.

When entering this old high school, very little furniture was available, dilapidated classroom desks were used, 25-year-old TVs were in classrooms and lots of work needed to be done to the facility because of broken lockers, non-working restroom facilities, etc.

Slowly, and with fund-raising and great parent support, the school now has new desks in every classroom, a library that has full shelves instead of empty ones, new TVs and VCR/DVD players in each classroom, new computers in each classroom, a new paint job, working restrooms and lockers, and we have new projectors mounted to the ceiling in the classrooms, laptops for all teachers, and six laptop carts to be used in the library and classrooms as well. We're now working to get more laptop carts for our students.
