History
The school originally opened as a high school in 1952, to replace the old Port Moody Central School.
A fire in 1969 destroyed the original building. A replacement building was available for the return of classes in autumn 1970. The school was converted to a junior high school in 1973, as another high school opened to take the increased population of students in the area. In 1997, the school was renamed to Moody Middle School to conform to the school district's new alignment of elementary / middle / high school. In 2007, they changed from Raiders to Mavericks.
The school is located in Port Moody, British Columbia, Canada, which is a suburb 30 minutes east of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

About 800 students attend this school. They have a very strong group of athletes each year.

In addition to the sports teams, the school offers a variety of clubs and activities which include Internet research, mountain bike club, chess club, game club, photo journalism, life rec,calculus club, and a pop culture class.

Facility renewal
On April 1, 2009, Liberal MLA Iain Black announced the future construction of two new schools to relieve the explosive growth in population Moody Middle has experienced over the past decade. These include the construction of a new middle school on Heritage Mountain by 2012, and another new middle school set to replace the current, outdated structure by 2014 partly due to it being more vulnerable to potential earthquakes in this seismically active region.
