What Makes Our School Unique?
The faculty and staff of John Trotwood Moore Middle School continue a tradition of excellence in providing quality educational experiences for our students. We offer the structure, academic environment, and caring atmosphere to enable students to be successful. Each student is treated with respect and encouraged to reach his or her highest potential. A broad curriculum meets the academic needs of students at all educational levels.
J.T. Moore is an International Baccalaureate Organization School that feeds into the IB Diploma Programme at Hillsboro High. Teachers continue to be trained in this academically challenging curriculum and are excited about all aspects of it. Community service is a strong component of the IB program of study and we strive to help students understand and embrace its importance.
Extracurricular activities offer many opportunities for additional success for our students. J.T. Moore has built a reputation for excellence in sports by winning many city championships.
The J.T. Moore PTSA is outstanding. The faculty and staff are most appreciative of the support we receive from this strong organization. We feel that we truly form a partnership in doing all we can to make this school the best it can be. We invite everyone to come visit our school.
