🎉 The Red Wolves Are Back! 🐺

Moore Innovative High School kicked off the 2026-2027 school year today with smiling faces, renewed friendships, and plenty of excitement.

As students stepped off the bus and filled the hallways, the school’s first two cohorts came together to begin a new year of learning and opportunity. It was an exciting reflection of how MIHS continues to grow and strengthen its community.

Here’s to a wonderful first day and an outstanding year for our students, staff, and families!

🚌 Bus transportation routing for the 2026-2027 school year is underway!

📅 Families who need bus transportation for the first day of school must submit a transportation request through their child's school by August 12, 2026.

If your child rode a bus during the 2025-2026 school year and still needs transportation, no action is required. Your child will remain in the transportation system, and route information will appear in the BusQuest app once routes have been assigned.

📱 Be sure to check the BusQuest app for route assignments and updates. Bus numbers and stop times may change during the first few weeks of school as routes are finalized and adjusted.

❌ If your child no longer needs bus transportation, please complete the transportation form at your earliest convenience:
