Although the main building (including the office and 16 classrooms) was constructed in 1976, it wasn't until 1980 that the first classes were held. When the school opened, the following words were etched in the foyer: "Ingram Moore High School [ sic ], established 1980, a student centered school in a student centered community where the standard of quality education will not be compromised." The school was named in honor of Tom Moore after the large land grant he provided. [2]
