A former high school mathematics teacher and coach at Ada High School, Moe holds a Bachelor of Science from Mayville State University, completed graduate studies in Education Administration at Moorhead State and North Dakota State University, and received an Honorary Doctor of Laws Degree from the University of Minnesota in 2004.
