Moor High School was a historically black, public secondary school in Starkville, Mississippi. The school had roots in the Pleasant Grove Community School. In 2002, Moor was closed, then consolidated and merged with Alexander, another historically black high school in Starkville, Mississippi. The new school was housed at the Moor High location. In 2015 the state caused the Oktibbeha County School District to merge with the Starkville School District, and Moor was shuttered as a high school. The school district continued to use it for some time.[2][3]
