EAEOCS was established in 2002 after a horrific fire that almost destroyed the property. Graduates of B.L. Moor developed a mission to become a motivational tool and enhancement to the educational process of students in the East Oktibbeha County area through volunteerism, community advocacy and recognition of alumni heritage in areas of community history, education, health and fitness.
EAEOCS is a 501 C (3) Non-Profit Organization.
As you visit the website, we hope you will appreciate the memories as we unveal the untold story from former students, their educational experiences , and journey to succeed!
NOTE: Many of the high school class pictures have been damaged due to a lack of proper storage and care. The goal is to find a permanent location to archive these delicate works into public systems as other former high schools in local the community. We are seeking to locate class pictures, unrecorded from graduates, etc. to restore and rebuild a fifty five year legacy. Please email your collectibles to moorhighlegacy@gmail.com.

The blue blood of B. L. Moor High School's fifty-five (55) year legacy runs deep in the lives of many students from the Pleasant Grove Community School that evolved into the B. L. Moor High School in 1960. In 2002, consolidation occured again, and the institution was renamed East Oktibbeha County High School (EOCHS). Through a state congressional enactment in 2013, it became law that EOCHS would officially close on June 30, 2015, and would merge to become the Starkville Oktibbeha County Consolidated School District.
