The Moore County Middle School Debate program involves over 40 debate teams from schools across Moore County. Over 100 middle school students take part in this competition as debaters, timekeepers, and alternates. 

This year the Debates will take place on March 7, 8:30 – 2:30, at Sandhills Community College. Members of the Pinecrest High School national award-winning debate team serve as co-judges. The English Speaking Union Sandhills and the Rotary Club of Pinehurst sponsor the Debates. 

A number of volunteers are needed as judges. Training will be offered. You will be amazed at the critical thinking and communication skills of these students.  So, please volunteer!

 The first general meeting of the Board of Education was held at North Moore High School introducing the new meeting schedule of having monthly meetings at various schools throughout the district.

• After vocal input from parents, the decision to rename McDeeds Creek Elementary School was removed from the agenda with agreement to follow the established procedure.
• Reversing an action of the previous Board, a motion to select a valedictorian and salutatorian based on objective criteria was approved by a 5-1 vote.  The Latin honor system will continue to recognize students with a 4.5 GPA.

  We celebrate the Moore County Board of Elections and acknowledge the hard work, dedication and collaboration of the staff, poll workers, ballot counters and volunteers.  Kudos to our Corps team who spent many hours observing this democratic process in action.
