son Chad claims his family has been stopped on the street by people well into their 40s who see Moore and are eager to recite the PRIDE mantra. These former students tell him they love him and that he is the best principal they have ever had. “That is my legacy: the legacy of PRIDE.” Even in retirement, George Moore and his family continue to live out the values ingrained in him by his parents all those years ago. In February 2020, the Moore Family Scholarship was established to assist low-income students in pursuit of higher education degrees or credentials through Texarkana College, where Moore is a member of the Board of Directors. Most recently, in January 2024, Moore was the recipient of the C.E. Palmer Award, Texarkana’s most prestigious honor given in recognition of long-term meritorious civic service. This award goes beyond a single accomplishment; it is earned from a life well lived serving others. George Moore exemplifies what happens when people choose love over hate. “Life is so amazing,” he reflects, and we should all follow his living example and simply choose love.
