My school is mostly an all white school. The diversity is really low so I would like to see that change. Other than that I like it. It's pretty and it has enough resources.

Moore County High School was a decent school for me. I liked the majority of teachers there and was able to learn and do well in school. I was #6 in my class. I was involved in football briefly and band since 7th grade. I think there is room for improvement in some areas, but overall I felt prepared for college and even attended Motlow College with the Dual Enrollment Program. The facilities are scheduled for improvements. The school building and technology are in need of updating. I was ready to graduate and go on to college.

The facilities are not the best because of the lack of funding, but the amount of fan support from everyone in the community is wonderful!!

Being a student at MCHS, I can comfirm that the food is terrible and over priced, we don't get enough food for our moneys worth, the arts programs are VERY neglected, the athletic programs get WAY TOO MUCH of the schools fundings, and the new renovations are extremely inconvenient for the students....

It is a mediocre school. It seems as if MCHS does not do anything to make themselves or their students stand out academically. While athletic programs are great here, you cannot always rely on athletic performances for a future. Moore County also needs to step up in what they feed their students wit...
