JEJ Moore Middle School is a middle school located in Prince George County, Virginia. == History == Dr. John Edward Jeffries Moore was born in Richmond, Virginia on April 9, 1876. He attended Richmond High and Normal School where he was an honor graduate and valedictorian. After graduating from high school he attended Rochester College in Rochester, New York and Columbia University in New York, New York. Dr. Moore authored “Colored America Refined” that was published in 1903. He was a newspaper columnist for ten years, and then he taught school in King William County for seven years. Dr. Moore became principal of the Disputanta Training School for blacks in Disputanta in 1931. He served Prince George County for 22 years, and retired in 1953. In 1956 when a new high school for blacks was built on Route 156 just east of Route 460, to replace the Disputanta Training school it was named for Dr. Moore. After the end of Massive Resistance, the Prince George County public schools were racially integrated and in 1964, J.E.J. Moore became a Junior High School. Four additional classrooms were later added to the school. When the new Prince George High School on Laurel Spring Road opened in 1977, the School Board renamed the old high school Prince George Junior High School (later to become N.B. Clements Junior High School). In 1998 the current J.E.J. Moore Middle School was built on Route 156 just west of Route 460, to replace the forty-two year old facility, and the students and staff moved in on January 1999. The old J.E.J. Moore school was closed, renovated, and reopened as the Prince George Education Center in 2000. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「J.E.J Moore Middle School」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
