Bishop Moore Catholic High School is a Roman Catholic high school in the College Park neighborhood of Orlando, Florida. It remains the only Catholic high school in the greater Orlando metropolitan area. It is located in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Orlando. The school was built in 1954 and was named after Bishop John Moore, the second bishop of the St. Augustine Diocese. The Diocese of St. Augustine had been the only diocese in Florida prior to the creation of the Archdiocese of Miami (1958).

John Moore was born in County Westmeath, Ireland and moved to Charleston, South Carolina at the age of 14. He served as Bishop of St. Augustine from 1877-1901. Bishop Moore was very influential in the expansion of Catholic schools in Florida and recruitment of religious nuns and priests to meet the ministerial needs of the diocese.
