Construction begins on new $47M Moody High School

Construction on the new Moody High School in St. Clair County has begun.

Located within the fast-growing town of Moody, the $47 million project is expected to be completed in 2026.

“Building a new Moody high school that is designed to prepare students for excellence both inside and outside of the classroom has long been a vision of the Moody community and St. Clair County Schools.”

~Moody High School Principal Christopher Walters 

More than a high school

The new campus has several exciting elements, including:

• 95,000-square-foot academic building 
• 7,000 square foot storm shelter,
• cafeteria/kitchen, band hall and activity practice gymnasium
• 25,800 square-foot gymnasium that will seat 1,200 seats 
• A renovation of the existing gymnasium on campus for an auditorium. The 19,000-square-foot building will house an 800-seat auditorium, stage, dressing rooms, patron concessions, restrooms and a drama classroom

Doster Construction, Ward Scott Morris Architecture and Scout Program Management are in charge of the project.

“Our community voted for the opportunity to pay additional property taxes because they wanted better facilities for our students, and we want to meet their expectations.” 

~ Justin D. Burns, St. Clair County Schools Superintendent

Have you ever been on the Moody High school campus? Fun fact: their band concession stand at the football stadium is called the Moody Blues. Now that’s appropriate!
