It’s the little things that make a world of a difference! 🧡🖤
Recently a special education teacher sent an email thanking one of our staff for going above and beyond in her classroom. We want to highlight Steve Moore, Director of Operations and Emergency Management.
A classroom of students was feeling a little nervous after the water main break at Robert Asp. To help calm their nerves, Steve Moore quickly arrived to show students photos and explain that everything was okay. Even though he didn’t have to, Steve didn’t hesitate to jump in and assure the students that they were safe and secure. We are so proud to have Steve as a member of the Spud team. #SpudPride
Check out these awesome role models! Moorhead High School students and School Resource Officer Jordan Werk recently visited with middle school students to discuss importance of drug prevention.

Congratulations to MHS senior Jeremy Murray who was awarded a four-year NROTC scholarship for $180,000. Jeremy plans on attending college and joining the Marine Corps! Out of 23,000 who start the application process, only 1,500 are awarded nationwide. From there, less than 300 students choose the option to be a Marine.
While he hasn’t made a final decision yet, Jeremy plans to attend the University of Minnesota or Duke University. Throughout his college career, he will attend training each summer in different areas across the country, attend officer candidate school in Virginia and graduate as second lieutenant. Congratulations for receiving such a well-deserved scholarship! #SpudPride
