Schools
Mooresville is primarily served by the Mooresville Graded School District, but is also partly in the Iredell-Statesville school system. A proposal in the 2007 North Carolina state budget could have possibly consolidated the two systems. It states that only one school system in a county would be funded. It was stalled in committee though and failed passage. Previous attempts to consolidate have been defeated. By 2010, every student in the fourth through twelfth grades in the Mooresville Graded School District had a MacBook laptop.[13] Mooresville recently built a new intermediate school and elementary school, then moved the middle school to Mooresville Intermediate School, and is using the old middle school as an extended campus of the Mooresville High School, known as the Magnolia Street Campus. In 2010, Mooresville Graded School District dedicated and renamed the high school’s football stadium after Coach Joe Popp. Coach Popp and the 1961 the Blue Devils won the NC State High School Football Championship and remain the only team to have that honor. Coach Popp is also a member of the Catawba College Sports Hall of Fame. Coach Popp Stadium is located behind the Magnolia Street Campus of Mooresville High School. The town is also the location of a campus of Mitchell Community College, whose main campus is in Statesville, the county seat of Iredell County. In addition to having top notch schools, the community has a class 5A Marching Band, Pride in Motion, that is revered as one of the best in the state.
