I love attending Moore MST. The faculty is great, very nice and smart. There are many sports for students to go into, and there are even more electives, clubs, and extracurricular activities. I am a student here, and I am in Geometry (a class two years above my level), all pre-ap classes, drama, band, multiple sports, multiple clubs, and I am the president of the student council. I can balance all of this with the help of my amazing peers and the wonderful staff. I recommended this school to every middle school aged child.
