History

The school originally opened as a high school in 1952, to replace the old Port Moody Central School.

A fire in 1969 destroyed the original building. A replacement building was available for the return of classes in autumn 1970. The school was converted to a junior high school in 1973, as another high school opened to take the increased population of students in the area. In 1997, the school was renamed to Moody Middle School to conform to the school district's new alignment of elementary / middle / high school. In 2007, they changed from Raiders to Mavericks.

The school is located in Port Moody, British Columbia, Canada, which is a suburb 30 minutes east of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

School life

About 260 students attend this school. They have a strong group of athletes each year. Students can participate in volleyball, cross country (running), field hockey, swimming, basketball, wrestling, track and field, rugby and badminton. In addition to the sports teams, the school offers a variety of clubs and activities including chess club, choir, Jr band, Sr band, Recycle Club, Knitting Club, Art Club, Ski and Snowboard Club. Each spring Moody puts on a theatre performance with help from teachers, students in the stage craft class, and many actors and actresses. Most recently they performed Robin Hood.

Facility renewal

The City of Port Moody announced the future construction of a new school to relieve the explosive growth in population Moody Middle has experienced over the past decade. The construction of a new middle school, Eagle Mountain Middle School was opened in 2013. Moody Middle is currently undergoing seismic upgrades and is operating under partial capacity while the upgrades are completed. As of January, 2018 the new facility has opened and students have moved buildings.

gollark: oh no.
gollark: I would probably just self-host, personally, which I do for basically all my online stuff since I don't care about monetizing it (and have no chance of getting much out of that, and don't want to support ad networks), I have some limited amount of competence at running servers, and it's not high-traffic or big enough that it costs a significant amount.
gollark: That may not be ideal for getting a long-term audience.
gollark: So, have non-YouTube copies of things, I guess?
