For most of its existence the town of Susan Moore was known by the name Clarence. The area was settled first by the Robert M. Moore family around 1865, and the family continued to play a prominent role in the town for many years. In 1923, two grandsons of Robert Moore, both doctors,donated funds for a new high school, which they named in honor of their mother, Susan Moore. The town gradually came to be referred to as Susan Moore. In November 1982, the town was incorporated, and in December an election was held to determine the new mayor and town council. One of the council's initial actions was to officially rename the town Susan Moore.

The school was listed among accredited Alabama schools in 1929.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=q280AQAAMAAJ&q=%22Susan+Moore+High+School%22&pg=PT23|title=Report Upon Accreditment of Secondary Schools|first=Alabama Dept of|last=Education|date=May 20, 1922|publisher=Department of Education|via=Google Books}}</ref>
