    My name is Jeremy Hayes and this will be my twentieth year working for Moore Public Schools. I spent my first twelve years at Highland West Junior High, and that amazing adventure as a HWJH Panther will always have a very special place in my heart.  This will be my eighth year at Southridge Junior High, and I am very excited to continue my journey in education as a Southridge Leopard. Your child's safety and their daily improvement in my class are two things that are extremely important to me.  I will do my best to help your child become very interested in the U.S. History story.
