History

Operations in the building began in January, 1969. This building, which is the largest of all high schools in Jefferson County, Kentucky, was notable for a number of features. The large main gymnasium was contained in the center of the building, off the lobby, and bordered by two parallel rows of classrooms. The art classrooms, located on the second floor of the western end of the building, had balconies that overlooked a courtyard below that separated the main building from the small industrial arts building immediately to its west.

Moore High School added a grade in each of the three succeeding years so that by the 1971/1972 school year, the school contained grades 7–12 for the first time. Moore High School immediately made a name for itself in music, as the band won a state championship in those early years and the choral music department put on the musicals "Brigadoon" (1971), "Oklahoma" (1972) and "Pajama Game" (1973).

In 2017, the name of the school was changed to Marion C. Moore School, shedding the traditional label that had been placed on the school.[2]

On November 22, 2019 the Marion C. Moore Instagram page made a post announcing Rob Fulk’s retirement as principal. It was formatted as a letter, written by Rob himself.[3]

As of January 11, 2020, a new permanent replacement principal has yet to be announced.
