2019 marks the 60th anniversary of the opening of Moira Secondary School.
The opening day, September 8, 1959, saw many of us on the tarmac being welcomed by Principal Jim Musgrove. Those early days in the 60’s and early 70’s at MSS hold some great memories for many of us and it is going to be great to get together to celebrate this milestone in the history of our school . The gathering will take place at the Dugout Restaurant 514 Dundas St. East (at the corner of Farley Ave) in Belleville on Sunday, September 8, 2019 from 2-5 pm.
