Moor High School was a historically black, public secondary school in Oktoc, Mississippi.

History

Moor served as a high school for black students until the public schools were integrated in 1970, after which it was technically integrated, although very few white students ever attended. Enrollment was combined with Alexander High School to form East Oktibbeha County High School at the same site. Eventually, the Mississippi Legislature forced the Oktibbeha County School District to merge with the predominantly white Starkville School District to become the Starkville Oktibbeha Consolidated School District.[1]
