This is a Great School !!
I am a former student and the education you obtain here is phenomenal.
Based on the academic rigors of Moorestown I was able to attend Pomona College and graduate from Grinnell College and receive a full scholarship and then continue on to graduate school.
I have had former classmates move back so their children could attend MHS.
I am a College Professor now and I owe all of my success to this school.
