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.
