Updating Webpages!
As the webmaster, I'm in the process of updating the website for
the 2010-2011 school year. I'll be taking down all of the last year's club
and team participants preparing for a new year! I'll also be taking down
all photos from the photo album. If you would like any of the photos, you
should download them before they are deleted.

History of Moody Jr. High School
Eight years ago (Fall,
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 is working to get new projectors and
laptops in each classroom as well. Donated
computers are updated and in the computer lab.
