Moore School was a Jefferson County school near the area that was later developed as Ensley.

Moore served on that board.
The Ensley Land Company donated a site at the corner of Avenue G and 14th Street Ensley where a new two-story brick school building was completed in 1900. Moore was elected principal and served until 1906. Subsequently the school was re-named in his honor.
