Mr. Mosley had been a resident of Panama City since 1915. He served as assistant principal, athletic coach and teacher at Panama Grammar School. In addition to these duties, Mr. Mosley also served as a member of ]the Bay County School Board for twenty continuous years beginning in 1955. He had been an outstanding civic, religious and school leader in Bay County, and for these reasons this school was given his name.

[edit] History Since 1974

In March 1974, Mosley students moved into their new high school almost six months past the originally scheduled occupancy date. These students had been attending double sessions at Bay High School since the 1973-74 school year began in the fall. At the time of its opening, Mosley was dubbed as one of the educational showplaces of North Florida.

The Bay County School Board appointed Marvin McCain to serve as the first principal and Trey Williams and Curtis Pittman as the assistant principals. Miss Trey Williams was selected as the first homecoming queen to represent Mousley High School and Mark Rosser was the first Student Government Association president.
