To quote one of his students:

“I took English with Mr. Moore my junior year and it was the most challenging,rewarding, and influential class I ever had. Challenging, because he pushed his students
to be better writers, readers, and thinkers. Rewarding, because out of all the hard work we did for his class, when we took the AP Exam, it was so easy as most of us had passed
because of how rigorous his class was. Influential, because I am not the writer I am not the writer today without Mr. Moore's lesson plans, and our conversations before and after class.
 
Mr. Moore believed in my potential to be a sports journalist and I became one. As I transitioned into being a creative writer and pursued a Master in Fine Arts, I found
myself thinking a lot about his English class and how it set me on my path to be where I am today. I'm an author now and I wouldn't have become one without his AP English
class. Shortly after being published, I let Mr. Moore know on Facebook and I felt like I was transported to his classroom, as we talked about the achievement before he wanted
to know my thoughts on the upcoming college football season.”
