The Mooresville Graded School District is located in the town of Mooresville approximately 30 miles north of Charlotte in the Southern Piedmont region of North Carolina. A district of approximately 6000 students, MGSD consists of three elementary schools, two intermediate schools, two middle schools, and one high school which includes an alternative setting program. MGSD has gained national recognition for its high academic standards and dedication to every child, every day. As a district it provides every child with a MacBook (grades 3-12) for their use both at home and at school or an iPad (K-2) for their use at school. Due to great students, staff, and community, MGSD is consistently a contender for the top spot in the state when it comes to academic excellence. However, academic excellence is not the only area MGSD excels in. Our athletic teams are top notch and competitive each and every year. Our school leadership and staff understand that part of a successful education must include work outside of the classroom. Therefore, it is not uncommon for our students to be holding food drives, coat drives, and volunteering for local organizations. It is each of these aspects that make our district so excellent and able to reach every child, every day!
