After leaving Louisiana College, Moses began his career with the Calcasieu school system. He retired in 1987 after spending five years as Superintendent of Schools in Calcasieu Parish.
During that time, Moses received the Basketball Coach of the Year award three times and led his team to the state semi-finals in basketball three times. In 1989, he was inducted into the LHSAA Hall of Fame.
Active in his community, Moses is a member of First Baptist Church of Sulphur, the Masonic Lodge, the Executive Committee of the LHSAA, and the Louisiana Association of Principals. Moses is married to the former Joyce Gardner (LC 1950-51). The two have three children and five grandchildren.
