General William Moultrie
The Moultrie Schools were named in honor of General William Moultrie, the highest ranking S. C. officer during the Revolution War and hero of the 1776 Battle of Fort Sullivan, which was renamed Fort Moultrie. He fought in the S. C. Militia during the 1761 Cherokee Wars, and served in the Royal Assembly and first Provincial Congress. He was elected Lieutenant Governor and was Governor twice. While Governor, he relocated the capital from Charleston to Columbia and established the county system and county court system. Moultrie designed the first S. C. state flag during the American Revolution.

Moultrie Schools
General William Moultrie High School, originally on Pitt Street, relocated here in 1944. In 1973, students moved into the new Wando High School on Whipple Road. The old high school became Moultrie Middle School. This facility was demolished in 2007 and the new building completed in 2009. This is the third Moultrie School to be built on this site.
